Airmount Road, Slieveroe, Co. Kilkenny

For Sale By Private Treaty

Location
The property is located on Airmount Road in the village of Slieveroe, in South Kilkenny. Slieveroe is located approximately 4 kilometres from Waterford City, with New Ross approximately 17 kilometres to the north and Kilkenny City approximately 40 kilometres to the north-west. The property is easily accessible from the N25 (National Primary Route) between Wexford and New Ross. A new Waterford City bypass has been constructed to the north of the village, connecting the existing N25 to the east. The immediate surrounding area is predominately characterised by a number of one-off residential dwellings.

Description
The subject property comprises regular shaped green field lands, which we understand extend to an area of approximately 14.2 hectares (35.1 acres).
The lands are currently laid out in productive pasture, are level in nature and are also well maintained. The existing main access to the property currently exists between two residential dwellings on Airmount Road located across from the GAA grounds. The Local Area Plan contains an objective for roads through the subject property which may provide additional access to the north of the land, subject to planning consent. The property therefore represents an excellent opportunity to develop a village scheme, subject to the necessary planning consent. These lands also present an excellent opportunity for agricultural uses.

Town Planning / Development Potential
The majority of these lands are currently zoned ‘Residential’ in the Slieverue Local Area Plan (adopted on 16th October 2006). A portion of the lands to the southwest are zoned ‘Open Space’, with a further section to the south zoned ‘Community Facilities’ (see zoning map to the right).

The ‘Residential’ zoning objective seeks “to protect and improve residential amenities and to provide for new residential development appropriate to the scale and character of Slieverue”, where as the ‘Community Facilities’ objective seeks “to protect, provide and improve community facilities”.

These lands are also highlighted as ‘Block A’ within the Local Area Plan, which states that the lands must deliver a number of terms within the ‘35 acre’ block, such as a density of 30 houses per hectare (12 houses per acre), school site, public park, internal road network and development access to the northeast.

Strictly by prior appointment with the selling agents.
