The builder has secured planning permission despite some local opposition and Council planners concluding that the scheme materially contravened the Wicklow County Development Plan.
The scheme is made up of 270 houses, 47 apartments and 12 duplex units on a 25 hectare site within the townlands of Blessington Demesne, Newpaddocks and Santryhill, Blessington, Co. Wicklow. As part of the grant of permission, Cairn Homes must pay €2.79 million to the Council towards the upgrading of public infrastructure.
However, the Ballymore Eustace Community Development Association contended that Blessington doesn't have proper wastewater infrastructure capable of safely providing water services"and this application will only serve to exacerbate that problem".
