Why this application matters

Homes and mix

The scheme provides 56 homes: 44 two-storey semi-detached houses and 12 apartments across two apartment buildings. House types comprise 4 two-bed, 34 three-bed and 6 four-bed dwellings; the apartments include one-, two- and three-bed units.

Estate connections

New internal roads and footpaths would extend the existing Shanrath Housing Estate network, with vehicular, pedestrian and cycle access. A shared walking and cycling route would connect to an existing segregated pedestrian-cycle path.

Access and safety works

The existing estate entrance and main access road would be realigned, incorporating raised speed tables, narrower carriageway sections and junction radii, shorter straight sections, and pedestrian crossing points.

Services and open space

The development includes hard and soft landscaped open space, planting and boundary treatments, alongside drainage, public lighting and a foul sewer connection to a previously approved pumping station.
