Superb Zoned Land Holding of approx. 99 Acres in Arklow Co. Wicklow.

In relation to services, Arklow has experienced wastewater deficiencies for some time however, planning permission for the new Arklow Wastewater Treatment Plant Project with an approx. 36,000 population equivalent capacity, has been granted by An Bord Pleanála. Irish Water is currently in the process of tendering the works to enable the appointment of a contractor for the project. The delivery of the treatment plant will unlock significant development potential for Arklow town.

The lands are highly accessible with Exit 21 on the M11 Motorway within 2km while Arklow Train Station is within 1km providing commuter rail links to Dublin City Centre with an approx. 1hr 40min travel time. Wexford Bus also provides services from Arklow to Dublin Airport.

A 10 year planning permission was granted on the lands in May 2004 for a mixed use development comprising 8 office blocks, retail outlets, transport terminus, hotel, 47 apartments and crèche. This grant has since lapsed.

The site represents an opportunity to create a significant mixed-use development (S.P.P.) in a town which is set to experience significant growth.
