A MAJOR commercial development planned for near Carrick-on-Shannon has been given the go ahead by Roscommon County Council.
The mixed-use scheme which will include retail units, a restaurant and a creche is set on a 3.34 hectare site at Cortober, adjacent to an area already identified as the location for a proposed business campus.
Dublin-based Palladio Properties was granted permission to build the integrated commercial/retail development subject to 27 conditions.
The complex will include a main anchor retail unit incorporating food and drapery space with a gross floor area totalling 4,656sq m along with a secondary retail unit and a restaurant measuring 165sq m.
A medical centre with a floor area of 257sq m and a creche measuring 212sq m will also form part of the scheme.
The development will have a maximum height of 10.8m above ground level and 512 car-parking spaces will be provided at ground, first-floor and roof level.
A plaza and a children's play area will complete the scheme.
The council directed that three additional retail units proposed by the developers be omitted from the scheme "in the interests of retaining the economic viability of the local town centre of Carrick-on-Shannon".
The site, at Drishogue, Cortober, is bounded by the railway line to the south, Midwestern livestock buildings to the west and lands associated with the proposed business campus to the north.
