A decision is almost due in Portlaoise on a developer s plan to build 94 homes and apartments next to a school campus.
An application was first lodged to Laois County Council in December 2019 by Bircrest Ltd to build 63 houses and 28 apartments at Summerhill, Portlaoise.
Further information was requested last February regarding issues such as drainage, and finally received on December 18.
The greenfield 3.6 hectare site is between a land drainage pond and the Holy Family Schools, next to Summerhill Lane to be accessed off the Southern Circular Road, beside the N80 Stradbally road.
