A further application for 26 houses is pending approval by Waterford City and County Council. However, a leading housing advocate in the popular Waterford coastal village fears the developments will not bring much relief to the community. Locals formed the Ardmore Grange Housing Study Group (AGHSG) which acquired 1.57 hectares of council land at Farrangarret on the edge of the village. The council subsequently assumed management of the site and plans for 28 social and affordable homes are now gone to tender. Last July, An Bord Pleanála granted planning to CFS Structures Ltd for another 29 dwellings close by.
