Planning has been granted for a three storey community health facility “on the lands of the former Longford Creamery site” on Connaught Road in Longford town.
The applicant, Kendrick Properties Ltd, also received planning permission for 47 parking spaces, a drop off area, and a new access road connecting Connaught Road towards Little Water Street.
The development is specifically proposed for the field located directly next to the derelict creamery buildings. According to the planning application, the health centre will include consultation/treatment rooms, offices, meeting rooms and support spaces.
Kendrick Properties Ltd, the director of which is David Lehane with the company address of 98 Henry Street, Limerick, states in the application that they have an “agreement for sale” in place for the site, with the purchase contingent on securing planning permission.
A letter of consent from the owner - Ruby Way Ltd - was also submitted.
In granting permission, Longford County Council applied 11 conditions.
These conditions were attached in the interests of proper planning and sustainable development, including protecting residential amenity, reducing noise, and safeguarding visual and environmental quality.
The conditions also had the objective of ensuring public health and safety, promoting energy efficiency and compliance with building regulations, and maintaining control over the development during construction and operation.
There were no objections to the proposed development prior to permission being granted.
