Plans for 17 new homes in the Stamanaran estate on the Old Golf Links Road in Blackrock are still on track after Andrews Construction Limited were granted an extension of planning permission for the development they first sought the go ahead for in 2008.

While the additional homes in the estate were never built due to the downturn in the construction sector, they remain a possibility in the next few years.

The Mullingar-based company have been given the go ahead to remove 36 apartments in three blocks at the estate that were never actually built.

In their place they are proposing 16 new houses, comprising 12 four bed two storey semi-detached dwellings and 4 three bed two storey terraced houses.

They have also been given the go ahead to relocate the proposed crèche in the estate and replace two four bed homes with three two bed homes.
