The settlement of Killrossanty is approximately 18kms northeast of Dungarvan, and 2.5kms northwest of Lemybrien. It is characterised by a compact linear form of development, that stretches from the school at the northeastern end to the field adjacent the church at the southwestern end. Development straddles both sides of the county road by which it is traversed.

The mature trees, sod/stone ditches and the backdrop provided by the Comeraghs combine to create a quality environment.

Services
There is a national school, church, public house and an agricultural services business in the settlement. St. Bridgids Community Hall is detached from the settlement, in the open countryside to the northeast of the settlement. Other everyday services are available in Lemybrien or Dungarvan.

Infrastructure
The settlement of Killrossanty is served by a public borewell water supply. The current water supply is limited, but is adequate to serve limited local demand.

Killrossanty does not have a communal wastewater treatment system and is situated in an area of High Vulnerability to Groundwater Pollution, and above a Regionally Important Aquifer. The council will require that all housing estate planning applications include proposals for the sustainable treatment of wastewater. Any such proposal should be discussed with the Sanitary Services Section of Waterford County Council prior to the submission of a planning application.

The council will encourage prospective developers to enter into partnership agreements to deliver the infrastructure that will facilitate estate development.

Development Strategy
The development strategy for Killrossanty is as indicated on the Land Use Zoning Map.   The policies and objectives of the Development Standards, as set out in Chapter 9, shall be used as guidelines to inform development proposals.
 
In order to ensure the settlement is protected from in-appropriately scaled residential development the council will require that the phasing of schemes reflects the capacity of the community to assimilate the development.
