Fashion retailer to relocate close to medieval castle

TK MAXX is set to relocate its business in Waterford near a medieval wall and castle in the city centre after a High Court ruling this summer meant that the company could no longer trade at the Butlerstown retail warehouse park on the outskirts of the city.

An Bord Pleanála last March ruled that TK Maxx was contravening planning regulations that allowed bulky goods only to be sold at the Butlerstown park.

The issue was referred to the board after Noel Frisby Construction, the owner of the Lisduggan Shopping Centre over two kilometres away, objected to the types of goods being sold at the park.
