Focus Housing Association CLG, the housing arm of Focus Ireland, has lodged a fresh planning application with Kerry County Council seeking amendments to an already approved housing scheme at Woodlands Industrial Estate, Killarney Bypass Road.

Permission was originally granted under reference 21/205 for 67 residential units on the site. The revised application keeps the total number of homes at 67 but proposes several changes to the design and layout.
The basement would be reconfigured to include water and attenuation tanks, a lift pit and an ESB substation. On the ground floor, bicycle parking would increase to 136 spaces and the bin storage area would be altered. Car parking would reduce from 80 to 74 spaces, still providing four accessible bays.
The amount of communal open space would drop from 719 square metres to 375 square metres following the removal of a roof terrace. Internal layouts and circulation on each floor would also change, with a proposed mix of 33 one-bedroom and 34 two-bedroom units.
According to the application, the total gross floor area of the development would increase by around 871.5 square metres. Kerry County Council will now consider the amended plans.
