Former Kildare Indian restaurant to be turned into apartments
Plans to convert vacant restaurant over Rathangan service station into apartments
Plans to convert a vacant space over the service station in Rathangan have been lodged with Kildare County Council.
Raymond Conlan wants to change the use of the existing vacant first floor commercial unit to three own door access apartments comprising of two two-bed apartments and one one-bed apartment. The plans also include an additional window to the south elevation, an additional window to east elevation and three new roof lights.
The plans were lodged with the local authority on Thursday, May 28 and have yet to be validated by the planning department. Once validated, it is expected that a decision will be made on July 22.
The existing commercial premises was home to Darchini Restaurant, an Indian restaurant, which relocated several years ago to a premises in the town centre. There are already a number of apartments over the service station. The complex is also home to the library, a barbers, a phone shop and a Daybreak store.
