Twenty new homes proposed for Virginia

Plans have emerged for a 20-unit residential development in Virginia, Co Cavan.

LGI Investment Ltd is seeking planning permission for the project, which would combine new-build residential accommodation with the architectural conservation and refurbishment of an existing protected structure on the Main Street site.

It envisages 16 new residential units, alongside the conversion of an existing two-storey dwelling into four one-bedroom apartments.

Under the plans, the new-build element will consist of eight, three-bed duplex units, arranged over two storeys, and eight two-bed duplex units, arranged over a single storey.

Alongside the residential units, the application includes a range of associated infrastructure and landscaping works.
