Planning permission refused for 97 homes outside Waterford city 

Kilkenny County Council said it is "premature" to build the site ahead of the completion and approval of a link road

Kilkenny County Council said the proposal would "prejudice" plans for a key link road for the area, while also not being of a high enough density.

An application for 97 homes outside Waterford City has been stalled after it was refused planning permission.

Developer, Michael Doyle Civil Engineering, had submitted an application seeking to develop a site at Abbeylands, Ferrybank, which is located across the county boundary in south Kilkenny.
