Clare County Council is set to unveil plans to develop a more than two-hectare landbank providing 12 serviced sites for new private homes in Lisdoonvarna.
It’s the first development of its kind in the county to be delivered under the Ready To Build Scheme.
The Ready to Build Scheme, which is funded under the Croí Cónaithe Towns Fund, provides discounted, fully serviced sites in towns and villages, to support the construction of principal private residences.
The scheme aims to encourage homebuilding in rural town settings, support regeneration, strengthen communities, and address local housing needs.
The proposal for the development of the 2.26 hectare landbank in Rooska outlines the construction of a new service road with associated footpaths, provision of public amenity open space, and required site services and utilities connections provided to each site.
Clare County Council says the project represents an important opportunity to rejuvenate Lisdoonvarna by creating space for new families, new ideas, and renewed vibrancy within the town.
By encouraging individuals and families to build their own homes in a town setting, the local authority says the scheme supports long-term community growth and strengthens the social fabric of the area.
The plan will be unveiled next Wednesday, February 18th between 6pm and 8pm at the Pavillion Community Centre in Lisdoonvarna, and members of the public are invited to meet with council staff to view the design and discuss the project in detail.
