The new foodstore will measure 2,572 sqm gross floor space with a net retail sales area of 1,668 sqm.

The existing site will also be reconfigured, including car parking and hard and soft landscaping.

A new main vehicular access will be created from the Naas Retail Park access road and a new pedestrian access point from the Newbridge Road.

Also in the plans is public lighting, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, roof mounted solar panels and cycle parking.

Construction work is expected to commence between July and September.
