A decision on the development is due in January.
Planning has been submitted for a new housing development in Laois.
44 new dwellings are included in the plans for a site in Mountrath.
The houses would be a mix of semi detached and terraced homes, with two or three beds.
Pedestrian access, boundary treatments and site landscaping are among associated site works.
A decision is due from Laois County Council by the end of January next year.
