Revisions sought for proposed Kildare development which would include crèche and residential units

Revisions have been proposed for a County Kildare development which would include a crèche and two residential units.

A planning permission application previously submitted by Ballymore Land Limited to Kildare County Council (KCC) shows that it wishes to make the changes to a previously permitted development under An Bord Pleanála Ref. PL09.247411 (KCC Ref. 15/1060).

According to the description of the application, the development would be located at a "site within lands at Stonehaven, Tipper West, Blessington Road, Naas, County Kildare".

The description also notes: "The development will consist of revisions to: a previously permitted two-storey neighbourhood centre (crèche (990 square metres); licenced retail unit with café space (377 sqm); gym (403 sqm) comprising of interior (layout revisions and reconfiguration of spaces); and exterior (encompassing revisions to the facades, fenestration, materials, and finishes) changes to the permitted building, resulting in its replacement with a single-storey building."

If granted permission from KCC, this new building would accommodate a crèche (circa 566 sqm) and a licenced retail unit (c 425 sqm) with café space (c. 161 sqm).

Permission is also being sought for the development of two two-bedroom residential units (combined c. 168 sqm) with own-door access, associated private amenity space, bin storage, and car and bicycle parking.

Other proposed amendments from Ballymore Land Ltd include:

• The omission of gym use
• Revisions to the permitted outdoor play areas associated with the crèche
• Revisions to the permitted car parking areas and set-down area and associated road, resulting in a total of 39 car parking spaces (a net reduction of 10 spaces)
• Revisions to the permitted bicycle parking areas, resulting in 48 external bicycle parking spaces (a net increase of 28 spaces)
• Modifications to landscaping and open spaces, boundary treatments, public lighting, drainage arrangements, and all associated development and site work necessary to facilitate the proposed development
• Amending condition no. 3 of An Bord Pleanála Ref. PL09.247411 (KCC Ref. 15/1060) to provide for two additional residential units

The date received is listed as May 16 last, while the submission-by and due dates are listed as June 19, 2025 and July 10, 2025 respectively.
