Permission refused for West Tipp development

Tipperary County Council has rejected plans for a large housing development in Tipp Town.

Kingscroft Developments sought permission for works on a 3.9 hectare site at Brodeen on the Dundrum road.

The proposals included 84 houses and a childcare facility with a 550 square metre private outdoor play area.

The local authority has this week refused permission for the development – among the reasons given was that the site is within the study corridor for the N24 Cahir – Limerick Junction project.
