LATEST: Kildare service station wants to double the size of its shop

Horan's service station in Castledermot wants to expand its shop.

A planning application has been submitted to Kildare County Council on the issue.

Being planned is the demolition of an existing metal-clad shed to the rear of the existing service station shop building.

A new single storey extension will accommodate an increase in the shop's net retail area from 125sqm to 271sqm.

The changes include a food preparation area of 50sqm, a seating area of 32sqm and a back of house/storage areas of 48sqm.

The existing shop building's roof space will accommodate a staff/administration area on the first floor.

New car spaces will also be included.
