Carrick-on-Suir Town Hall where the special meeting of Carrick-on-Suir Municipal District councillors will take place
A special meeting of councillors is being convened next week to consider two separate planning applications seeking the green light to develop a new 33-space car park and to clean up a derelict site in Carrick-on-Suir town.
The special meeting of Carrick-on-Suir Municipal District councillors to decide on the Part 8 planning applications for the proposed Stable Lane car park and remediation of the 2.7 acres former Goldcrop site on Carrick’s North Quay will take place in Carrick Town Hall next Tuesday, February 6 at 12.15pm.
The meeting is taking place two days before the deadline for submission of applications for the latest round of applications for Rural Regeneration Development Fund grants. The council is hoping to secure RRDF funding for both projects.
The date and time of the meeting was fixed at Carrick-on-Suir MD’s January meeting last Thursday.
The meeting was proposed by Carrick Cllr David Dunne and seconded by Cllr Imelda Goldsboro from Ballingarry.
The Stable Lane Car Park planning application proposes to develop a 33 car parking spaces on a site the council owns between Chapel Lane and Stable Lane.
The council is pursuing this car park project to offset the parking spaces that will be lost when Main Street is revamped under Carrick’s €17.8m Regeneration Scheme.
The planning application for the remediation of the former Goldcrop property on the North Quay proposes to demolish and remove the eight derelict buildings on the site, remove the boundary walls facing onto the Quay and remove the weighbridge located within site.
The council estimates it will cost more than €1.5m to clean up the former Goldcrop land next to Dillon Bridge, which is one of the town’s long-standing derelict sites.
The Council purchased the extensive quayside property, also known as the Wicklow Gardens site, a year ago and plans to draw up a masterplan for its redevelopment for tourism, cultural, recreational, commercial and retail use.
