Ashbourne Set for Major New Residential and Commercial Development

Note: 3D Design Bureau are NOT acting sales agents on the sale of any property within this development.

Plans have been submitted to Meath County Council for a new mix-use development in Ashbourne, Co. Meath that promises to significantly boost the economy and employment opportunities in the region.

The proposed development includes the demolition of all existing structures on the site, including three single-storey dwellings and their associated outbuildings, to make way for a total of 702 residential dwellings and several non-residential uses.

Let us help you secure planning

The construction of the development will consist of 420 houses in the form of two and three storey detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses. Additionally, 19 three-storey buildings will house 38 duplex units, while a total of 244 apartments will be housed within 20 buildings ranging from three to six storeys in height. The development will also include several non-residential uses, such as two childcare facilities, four retail units, and a GP practice/medical use unit.

Vehicular access to the development will be available through two access points, one from Cherry Lane located off Dublin Road in the northeast of the site and another from Hickey’s Lane located off Dublin Road to the east of the site. Proposed plans also include road upgrades and improvement works to both Cherry Lane and Hickey’s Lane and their junctions with Dublin Road. Additionally, a new east-west access road through the development site extending from Cherry Lane to the western boundary of the site is also proposed.

The development will provide a basement level car park located under block A1, two undercroft car parks at the ground floor level of blocks A and B1, and an area of approximately one hectare reserved for a future school site and playing pitch at the western boundary of the site.

The proposed development promises to be a significant investment in the area, creating jobs during construction and after completion. As a result, it is expected to have a positive impact on the economy and employment opportunities in the region.

Ashbourne is a bustling town in the heart of Co. Meath, located just 20 km from Dublin city centre. The town has a rich history and is home to many notable landmarks, including the medieval castle of Fairyhouse and the Hill of Tara, a sacred site in ancient Irish mythology. Ashbourne is also known for its vibrant community and excellent amenities, including restaurants, cafes, shops, and sports facilities.

Meath County Council will thoroughly evaluate the proposal before reaching a decision, ensuring that the development meets all necessary industry regulations and standards. Should the plans get approved, future residents can expect to enjoy the best of both worlds, with easy access to the city while living in a town with a strong sense of community and history.
