Glamping pods proposed for former BoI site

Public consultation has opened in relation to the provision of a new tourist accommodation facility in Lismore, with a view to bringing ‘vibrancy’ to the site once owned by the Bank of Ireland, which has now been vacant for a number of years.

Waterford City and County Council have opened the public consultation, with proposals to carry out works at the site of the former bank on West Street, Lismore to provide short-stay accommodation.

Plans proposed include the provision of five new accommodation glamping pods, internal roads and footpath access to each pod, parking spaces for each individual pod and connecting each pod to existing services. Hard and soft landscaping of green areas are also included under the proposal, as are the provision of storage rooms in outbuildings, sustainable urban drainage and all ancillary site works.
