PERMISSION to build 27 new homes in Tuamgraney has been giv- en by Clare County Council.
And in a separate application, a developer is seeking to build 16 new houses at Ardnacrusha.
Permission has been given to Conor Daly to build the 27 homes and for ancillary site works and services at Ballyquinn in Tuam- eae NINE
The permission is ring-fenced by 41 conditions and the planning authority is billing the developer
to the tune of €182,655 for public infrastructure and facilities for the development and a special contribu- tion of €108,872 for the improve- ment of surface water, sewerage and water facilities in the area.
Before building can start, a traffic management plan for the construc- tion phase has to be drawn up and submitted to Clare County Council.
The developer will also be respon- sible for the extension of the public water and sewerage systems to the new homes.
For each tree that is removed, ten have to be planted on the bounda-
ries of the site.
Nine trees will have to be removed to facilitate a new entrance onto Reddan’s Quay Road and the road will have to be upgraded to cater for the houses which will be allowed to access it directly.
Six of the houses on the 1.24 hec- tare site will have direct access to the Wood Road. The road will have to be widened to 5.5 meters and a 1.5 meter footpath constructed.
Meanwhile, an application to build 16 new houses in Ardnacru- Sha has been submitted to the Coun- ty Council by Seamus Danagher of
Springhill Developments.
The development will be at Spring- hill, Blackwater.
A site suitability report has been submitted which shows that there are no valuable archaeological, his- torical or natural sites where the de- velopment is proposed.
There are already other houses built adjacent to the site but the re- port also states that there is a prob- lem with drainage on the site.
It states that precautions will have to be taken against ponding of efflu- ent and contaminating larger water courses with groundwater run-off.
