Wicklow County Council and Sispar have proposed the construction of a new public square on the waterfront at Greystones.

The square is the most fundamental change to the masterplan for the redevelopment of Greystones Harbour.

It was recognised that the seaside town needed a space of significant stature to cater for its rapidly expanding population and surrounding area.

The additional information provided by Wicklow County Council and Sispar is under six headings requested by the Bord. The proposed revisions and information provided to the Bord will result in a reduction of the overall size of the development and thus of traffic, along with an expected shortening of the duration of construction time by approximately four months.

Additional information also included a reduction in the number of residential units by 34 to 341 and the commercial space is reduced by approximately 800 sq m to 5,625 sq m.

The clubhouses are now largely single storey and redesigned into a less obtrusive compact form.

They are also relocated in a position further east, away from Cliff Road/Bayswater Terrace.
