Wexford County Council, at its September monthly meeting, approved Part 8 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amened) for a proposed development at Bellefield Road, Enniscorthy.
The proposal is to provide a public realm space which will incorporate a playground for younger children, seating, a pocket park, paths, 25 public car parking spaces, 156 car parking spaces and two bus spaces within the GAA complex, lighting, signage, landscaping and a pedestrian link to the walking track and a sensory garden within the GAA complex.
The proposed works will incorporate some changes in the Bellefield Road area. 20% of the parking spaces will be for EV’s (electric vehicles); a new crossing point will be incorporated, but the exact location has yet to be agreed with the Area Engineer, and there will be a raised entrance and modifications made at streetscape entrance walls (lowered to 600mm high) to achieve appropriate sightlines in both directions.
