Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / October 29 2004: Planning application for first eco-village to be lodged today

An application for planning permission for the development of Ireland's first eco-village is to be lodged with North Tipperary County Council today. The architects of the project hope to get the go-ahead for what they say will be the establishment of the country's first fully-fledged sustainable community. A site on the edge of the village of Cloughjordan has been chosen for the eco-village, which would house up to 100 ecologically friendly dwellings, a natural wetland waste water treatment system and use solar energy to heat the homes. "The village offers an opportunity to build a home in a unique community which is committed to ecological, social and economic sustainability," says the promoting company, Sustainable Projects Ireland Ltd.
