Plans for new tea/coffee dock in picturesque part of Kilkenny City
Kilkenny Civic Trust hoping to develop new amenity in the gardens of Butler House, Kilkenny City
Kilkenny Civic Trust are seeking planning permission for a tea/coffee dock, which is to be located to the mid-section of the north wall in the gardens of Butler House.
The development is to include all ancillary and associated services at Butler House, Patrick Street Lower, Kilkenny City.
According to a cover letter submitted with the application: “The structure is lightweight, 2.4 x 1.8m, and has no physical impact on the heritage fabric of this part of the gardens.”
The letter notes that the operatives of the tea station shall be briefed on the history of this important place providing visitors with relevant information if asked.
The unit is proposed to be in place for the summer this year, and in operation from 10am to 5.30pm in line with the opening hours of the garden throughout the year.
The dock shall provide hot drinks (selection of tea and coffee), ices and some limited confectionary (scones and pastry).
