Mixed use, to include a Cider House, for proposed residential area in northern area of site (Sweeneys Orchard) .
Note:
The northern part of the site known as Sweeney's Orchard is presently designated for social housing units. This may lead to a no go area or a gated community. Dieago may have a clause that no brewery is to be opened on their former site. However does this include "Sweeney's Orchard" ? Kilkenny was famous in the Medieval ages for its cider malting. Hence the great number of orchard's in Kilkenny.
Cider is not made in a Brewery but in a "Cider House", This could be a great little industry for this once common practice in "Kilkenny..Ye Faire Citie".
As with the" Living City Incentive" where people are encouraged to live above commercial premises, this should also apply to the "Abbey creative Quarter" . Social units should be above the shop and office units. Therefore there will be life in the area after 5/6pm.
