By | Industry News

Construction has started on a €49 million housing development in Manorlands, Trim, Co. Meath.

On April 23 2024, work began on 45 residential dwellings on the site of a former cattle market.

Developers Keegan Land Holdings Ltd are looking to build 319 total homes–comprising 136 houses and 183 apartments.

In relation to the houses, 10 will be two-beds, 105 will be three-beds and 21 will be four-beds.

The apartments will be built across four 3-5 storey blocks with 11 studios, 30 one-beds, 71 two-beds and eight three-beds.

Another 64 duplex apartments will be built within eight 3-storey blocks, with 32 two-beds and 32 three-beds.

All units will have associated private gardens, balconies or terraces.

A creche and community centre are also planned for the development.

For residents, 563 car parking spaces will be available, with 188 bike parking spaces also.

Both vehicular and pedestrian accesses will be provided from Summerhill Road, which will be upgraded with additional cycleways and footpaths.

Developers submitted plans on July 8 in 2020 with approval granted in October of that year.

However, the development was hit with a series of delays after an environmental group challenged An Bord Pleanála’s planning permission approval.

Eco Adocacy had argued that no appropriate screening had taken place for an Appropriate Assessment, which is required by Irish and EU law.

In 2021, the case was referred to the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) to clarify EU legislation surrounding governing protected sites.

In June 2023, the CJEU addressed these questions and in November 2023 the high court dismissed Eco Adovacy’s case against Keegan Land Holdings Ltd.

Nearly four years on, work has now officially begun.
