Green light for new lounge bar and apartments in Tipperary
The approved plans include a new lounge bar on New Street and six one-bedroom apartments on Castle Street at the long-vacant town centre site
Planning permission has been granted for a major redevelopment project of a pub and the adjoining area in Carrick-on-Suir.
The plans for the redevelopment on New Street in Carrick on Suir outline that applicants wish to demolish the existing lounge bar and toilets and instead build a new lounge bar and toilets adjoining The Shebeen premises in the town.
On Castle Street in the town the applicants have now been given the green light to build six new apartments.
The new apartment will consist of two one-bedroom apartments on the ground floor, two one- bedroom apartments on the first floor and two one-bedroom apartments on the second floor adjoining old The Shebeen pub premises.
The former Shebeen building has stood vacant for a number of years, and the approval marks a significant step towards bringing the prominent town centre building back into use.
Tipperary County Council granted permission for the plans on August 2, along with 14 conditions attached.
These conditions ask for a Construction and Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) to be submitted prior to works starting, a Construction Traffic Management Plan to be created and a financial contribution is to be paid to the Planning Authority in respect of public infrastructure and facilities benefiting development.
