Center Parcs has formally submitted a planning application to Longford Co Council to develop a £167m holiday village on a 395-acre site at Newcastle Wood, 5km outside Ballymahon in Ireland.
The UK firm said the development would provide up to 1,000 permanent jobs at the holiday village once it is operational. In addition, 750 jobs would be created during the construction phase of the project.
The new centre would bring 250,000 visitors to Longford each year, according to the company.
The proposed holiday village would comprise 470 Lodges and 30 apartments, as well as over 100 indoor and outdoor activities.
The company announced in April that it had chosen the Longford site after it signed an option agreement with Coillte.
