Why this application matters
87-home mixed-tenure format
The proposal provides 87 homes: 61 houses and 26 apartments. Housing ranges from one-bedroom simplex apartments to four-bedroom houses, combining detached, semi-detached, terraced, duplex and apartment forms across two- and three-storey buildings.
Childcare and open-space provision
A 331.26 sq m two-storey crèche with a circa 340 sq m outdoor play area forms part of the development, alongside landscaped public and communal open spaces, supporting a residential neighbourhood rather than housing alone.
Connections to adjoining neighbourhoods
The Ballinalea site lies south of the L1096, between established Ashford estates. Works include a new road and walking/cycling access to the L1096, a future pedestrian link to Woodview, and connections to water, surface-water and foul-water networks via adjoining Rossana Close, Woodview and Ashleigh roads and open space.
Sports-club access and local scale
The scheme reserves future vehicular and walking/cycling access to Ashford Rovers FC. Its 87-home scale is closely comparable with an 86-unit residential proposal at Kilbride, Arklow, which likewise combined houses, duplex apartments, road works, pedestrian/cycle access and public open space.
