A PLAN which would see a massive increase in the population of Newtownmountkennedy has been put on hold by Wicklow County Council.

The council's planners have sought further information from the developers, Kineada Limited, who are seeking permission to construct 935 residential units in the town.

They now have six months to respond. The council was due to give its decision on Tuesday last.

Kineada hope to build the 935 houses and apartments which will have a total ground floor area of 96,919 square metres, in an area which stretches from Season Park to Monalin, Newtown.

The proposed development would see the demolition of all structures on the site south west of Season Park and the construct of 588 houses and 347 apartments in 27 blocks.
