    Ok firstly feel free to move if ive posted in the wrong forum.Im wondering what the required road frontage is for a site in Kilkenny,the short version of the story is that there is a 4 acre field with 100metres of road frontage,a friend wishes to purchase the whole field for, 1acre @ 80,000 (agreed price for 1 acre sites in this particular lot)and the rest at agri prices 15-20k per acre.I have told them that the seller would prefer to sell 2 roadside 1 acre sites @ 80k an acre making 160k rather than selling the entire 4 acres for roughly same amount.So what i am trying to find out is would the site be wide enough to get two houses side by side or if one house goes on one half of the field does that rule out the possibility of getting a second one next door. By the way i have checked kkcoco website and cannot find the answer there.Any help greatly appreciated.thanks

    50m for both sites at 1 acre each should be more than sufficient....

    as long as theres enough space to:
    1. maintain the required building line
    2. provide for enough percolation, generally in KK its 20mm per person measured by the number of double and single bedrooms.. ie a 4 double bed house would require 160m of percolation piping...
    3. provide sufficinet seperation from percolation area and dwellings
    4. provide seperation from wells if any...

    + others as may be applicable...
