The site of the former Texaco Southend Service Station on the Dublin Road, which Maxol had been given the go ahead to develop prior to the appeal
An appeal has been lodged with An Bord Pleanála against Louth County Council’s decision to grant Maxol conditional planning permission for a new supermarket and filling station at the Southend Service Station on the Dublin Road – opposite Dundalk IT.
Formerly a Texaco station, the site was completely leveled in recent years.
When the initial application by Maxol was made earlier this year there were two objections from P Herr and Associates on behalf of Niall Clarke Oils Ltd and William Fry, acting on behalf of John V McCabe and Dympna McCabe, the owners and residents of the property situated immediately south of and adjoining the proposed development site.
Maxol hope to erect a new supermarket on the 0.25 hectare site, including an ATM, deli, ancillary stores and offices and internal and external seating areas.
There would also be a new forecourt canopy, rollover carwash, equipment store, floodlighting and security cameras, a rear compound area, underground fuel tanks, a petrol interceptor, a carwash interceptor, an aluminium clad illuminated gantry sign and associated services including drainage works and alterations to the existing access to the public road.
The application had been given the go ahead last month subject to 20 conditions but will now be delayed while the appeal is heard.
