Existing Car Park

 

The recently constructed carpark / set down area located opposite Adare National School (constructed as an advance contract to the planned N21 overlay contract) is encompassed as part of the northern development site. Here, the development proposes the construction of 13 no. units (one and two-storey) along a new access route which will interconnect the existing Deerpark Estate (opening up the existing Lime Kiln) with the N21 at the National School. In so doing, the development will necessitate reconfiguration of the existing carpark / set down area for reconciled access to / from the N21. The same number of car parking spaces will be provided by the reconfigured carpark.

Part 8 - Proposed Housing Development at Deerpark & Rathkeale Road, Adare, Co. Limerick
Is the new access road wide enough for a fire tender to pass through in case of fire? The design of the new houses do not fit in with a heritage village like Adare.
