LIMERICK City and County Council has published its intention to redevelop a series of buildings in Newcastle West, County Limerick, to make way for a mixed-use community and commercial development in the heart of the county town.
According to a Part 8 planning notice, the Council has proposed the works for 112, 113, and 114 Maiden Street in Newcastle West.
The works would involve a change of use of the existing buildings from commercial and residential to a multi-functional community, arts, and commercial use.
The notice outlines the demolition of existing rear extensions of the buildings, along with the redevelopment of the three units to “provide a commercial space and community space at ground floor level and flexible community and multi-purpose rooms at first and second floor levels”.
Works would also include the restoration of the existing stone building along Brewery Lane, new connections to 112, 113, and 114 Maiden Street, as well as new extensions to the three buildings comprising an open courtyard with pedestrian access to Brewery Lane and additional space at first and second-floor levels.
Public realm improvement works to Upper Maiden Street are also noted, including paving and all associated works.
Details on the proposed development can be inspected at Merchant’s Quay in Limerick City, County Hall in Dooradoyle, and the Newcastle West Municipal District Office up to May 25 and on planning.localgov.ie.
Submissions can be made in writing to Limerick Council’s Rural Development office, Merchant’s Quay, via email on [email protected], or online at the website above before 4pm on June 9.
