Cairn Homes gets permission for Blessington development

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 plans also include a 10 hectare park. A planning report lodged with the application states the development will make a significant contribution toward long term policy objectives of Wicklow County Council, as well as provide significant infrastructure projects in the form of the town park and delivering an inner relief road in Blessington.

Uisce Eireann concluded that the site can cater for 550 homes on condition that the application pays for necessary upgrades for water and wastewater infrastructure. Still, 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”.
