Housing

Cavan town has sufficient lands zoned and serviced to accommodate development which will cater immediately for an increase of 6,000 new residents. In addition, substantial lands are either zoned and serviced or zoned and serviceable to accommodate substantial future development over the next 5-10 years, whether residential, industrial or commercial services.

There are a large number of housing sites available from both the private sector and the local authorities. The local authorities have a serviced land bank of 40 acres within walking distance of the centre of Cavan town.

The provision of private residential property, whether for owner occupier or investors, has continued at considerable pace over the past number of years. Consequently, there is no deficit in house provision in the town or indeed county, with a considerable further capacity in the industry to deliver increased numbers as required. Good forward planning by Cavan County Council has ensured there is serviced land at present to accommodate a population increase of 15,000 to 20,000 people within the county. ( www.cavancoco.ie )
