Planning sought to build 21 new houses in large Laois town
Planning permission is to be sought to build more houses completing an estate on the outskirts of a large Laois town.
An application is to be lodged with Laois County Council to build 21 new houses in Derryounce, Portarlington on a site that right up to the Laois Offaly border.
Applicant Droughill Builders Ltd is requesting permission to build 10 detached two storey houses, 8 no semi-detached two storey houses, 3 no two storey terrace houses and all associated works.
Their plan includes an open public space - see map below in the estate which is off the Edenderry road near the Derryounce lake and woodland amenity.
Droughill say that this proposed development will allow for completion of a housing development that was previously granted permission which was to have a total of 37 houses.
The company was given an extension to their original planning permission in 2018. They had lodged a new application last July to complete the estate, but it was deemed incomplete. Droughill have now given notice that they will lodge another application.
