I could be wrong, but I wouldn't bet on it being there when the project is finished. These renders never seem to be quite the same as the finished product.

That can't be Waterford or the South East for that matter. Maybe the artist thought Ferrybank was in ze south of France?

Is Burton actually lined up for the place, or is that just artistic licence?

I suppose a more complete question is whether there is any list of shops lined up, or is it too early on for that to have been decided?

Nice looking spot. Obviously our serial objector didn't mind THIS development going ahead? If so his lack of consistency is truly astonishing.:p

Oh he's consistent alright, he just doesn't object to developments outside the City boundary, aka B&Q development on the Kilmeaden side of the ORR which lies in Co. Waterford and not Waterford City

his anticts are creating a donught City, gong against his ideals of what he wants Waterford City to be:mad:

I am glad this discussion has turned to the planning side of the Ferrybank shopping centre. Did anyone notice the front of the Ferrybank shopping centre is built right up against the road? The new houses on the other side of the road are the same. If proof was needed that Kilkenny county council only see the area as a cash machine, there it is. That was a terrible planning decision; there is no room now to continue the dual carriageway out from were it ends at the junction at Abbey road. As is so often said about planning in Ireland – were was the forward thinking. It is difficult not to think that Kilkenny county councils policy for the area is to build as much as possible and increase their rate base. This to me is where McCann’s creditability falls apart. If he was really concerned about planning these are the kind of things he would go after. These are the things that cause doughnut cities and doughnut cities are totally at odds with green policies.

As ferrybank is been by-passed by the new road, I cant ever see them needing to build a dual carriageway along this stretch of road.

Paddy@CIRL

You also seem to forget that if a Dual Carraigeway was to go that far, they'd have to build through a Grave yard and a grotto of the Virgin Mary that has been there since 1956. It was never going to happen anyway, as mentioned why by Aquos76 ...

I remeber it being a common site in shaws.Parents trying to force their children into clothes and them raising the roof with screams.

I remember the folks trying to force me into a tweed coat in Shaws when I was a toddler. They failed

ah mad man the sweet sweet memories , probably a menswear shop and we were young cos when i think of it i never really heard of a shop that caters only for old men ( if it did it would just sell all beige or navy head to toe ) back to burtons i remember mothers just holding clothes up against children to see if they fitted them , no such thing as trying things on in our day

beaushalloe

is there any more info on who is going into this new shopping development?? and when is the proposed opening? it really is flying up.

JohnC.

All I know is Dunnes Stores, which is thought to be a 24 hour store.

When I was younger, if anyone was in a suit we'd joke about how it would have to be back in Burtons window by morning
