Proposal for 80 new homes on Kilkenny's old mart site is part of Tesco's grand designs

A proposal to build 80 homes and an assisted care unit are to be part of a planning application to be submitted by Tesco Ireland as it outlines its vision for the future of the old mart site in Kilkenny.
Tesco Ireland last week confirmed it intends to submit planning for a new store at the former mart site off the Castlecomer Road/Old Mart Road. Subject to planning approval, the scheme will see a modern, sustainable, and accessible store built in Kilkenny city, including new car parking facilities, the provision of Click+Collect services for customers, and include a Grocery Home Shopping hub to serve the wider catchment of County Kilkenny.
In partnership with Codd Property Holdings, the proposed development includes 80 residential units and an assisted care unit, alongside a further 90 car parking spaces.
A spokesperson for Tesco Ireland said: “We are pleased to submit our application to develop the former Mart site. Subject to permission, this new store will bring all the positive benefits that Tesco brings to town; including local jobs, community supports, opportunities for local suppliers and a new shopping experience for colleagues and customers."
