Expansion for busy Kildare service station gets green light

An extension has been granted planning permission for a service station located in Kildare.

Circle K Ireland Energy Limited has been approved for changes at its service station located on the southbound carriageway of the N7, Naas Road, Kill.

The company sought permission for a 61.4 square metre extension to the existing service station amenity building in order to accommodate a new food offer and revised seating, circulation, customer toilets, storage, staff areas, resulting in a net retail floor area of 87sqm and an overall floor area of 330.8sqm.

These changes include: a new canopy, new and relocated signage, new entrance and exit doors, a pay hatch and new glazing as well as revisions to the site layout incorporating a modified western site entrance area.

The designs include eight new car parking spaces (including two disable spaces); a new bicycle parking area comprising six spaces and new signage at eastern entrance; the construction of two refuse areas in southwest corner with 2,100mm high timber fencing surrounding; and all associated drainage and other site development works.
