Population and Housing

 Population and Housing

 The population of the Castleconnell was 2107 in the 2016 Census. The population growth target for the village is a population of 2697 people  by 2028 as proposed in the Draft Limerick Development Plan 2022—2028.  This additional growth requires 206 residential units.  To encourage compact growth and to strengthen the core of Castleconnell, residential development should be encouraged within the existing settlement on brownfield sites, infill sites and re-use of existing housing stock/vacant buildings as a preference to greenfield sites. New residential areas should be connected, attractive and well designed with a range of adaptable dwelling types and densities, creating a sense of place and a high quality public realm. Continued population growth will create pressure on the housing market and on certain services and infrastructure, including childcare, schools, transport, water, wastewater, recreation and amenity.
