Legal dispute over right-of-way threatens to stall Waterford apartment complex

Developer says 'much needed homes' are aimed at older people downsizing

The site for the proposed four-storey apartment complex with capacity for 60 one- and two-bedroom apartments at the back of Ballinakill Shopping Centre on Waterford City's Dunmore Road.

Plans for 60 apartments in Waterford face being stalled due to a court challenge, in a row over right of way.

The project received permission earlier this month from An Bord Pleanála, however, planning bosses noted a legal issue remains over the development due to one objector's right of way on some land running alongside the proposed apartments.
