More social housing on the way for Newry as the planning committee at Newry, Mourne and Down District Council recently granted planning permission to a multi million pound development.
Local developer Kelly Brothers, will now go ahead with the project to build 24 houses and 24 apartments on Carnagat Road, ALL SOCIAL HOUSING!
Environmentally planning consultants have said there would also be a planting scheme on the development to improve the environment for residents.
Councillor Pete Byrne, chairman of Newry Mourne and Down District Council, said: “The approval of this social housing development on the Carnagat Road reflects the council’s commitment to addressing the pressing need for quality social housing in the area.
Liz Kimmins, Newry and Armagh Sinn Fein MLA, added: “The approval of 48 new homes on the Carnagat Road is a significant step forward in tackling the housing crisis facing our community in the Newry area.
“This development will provide much-needed quality homes for families who have been waiting too long on growing housing waiting lists.”
Ronan Kelly, managing director of Kelly Brothers, said: “We are delighted with the council’s decision to approve our application for critically-needed social housing on the Carnagat Road.
“The team at Kelly Brothers are committed to consistently delivering high-quality homes that meet the needs of our communities while adhering to the highest standards of design and sustainability and it is particularly special to be able to do this within our own locality.
“We look forward to continuing to work closely with the council, local representatives, and the community as we move into the construction phase to ensure the development is completed to the highest standards.”
Building work is due to start later this year, with completion expected in 2027.
