Hello everyone,
Here are some updates on planning matters in County Kilkenny for June.
1. The Living City Initiative:
This initiative focuses on the regeneration of retail and commercial
districts and encouraging people to live in the historic centres of Cork,
Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick and Waterford. The aim of the Living
City initiative is to bring life back into the heart of the relevant cities
by offering tax relief for qualifying expenditure incurred on the
refurbishment or conversion of certain buildings where conditions are met.
For further information on the residential and commercial elements of the
initiative for Kilkenny City please see the County Council website:

2. St. Mary’s Museum Project:

internationally significant archaeological discoveries at St. Mary’s

All the presentations from this event held in the Ormonde Hotel on the 16th
May 2015 are published on Ourplan: https://ourplan.kilkenny.ie/archive/ . A report
outlining the feedback received during the SWOT analysis workshop is also
published online and has been circulated to the Elected Representatives of
the Council.
4. Proposed Variation to Kilkenny City & Environs Development Plan
2014-2020 and Masterplan for Abbey Creative Quarter (former Smithwick’s
Brewery):

Development Plan and to place the Draft Masterplan on public display. The
public consultation periods for both processes will commence later in June
this year. A further e-mail will issue when all the relevant documentation
is available for public display with information on how and when to make
your submission.
