Kildare Co Council studying plans
A major project is being planned for the site of a long-time eyesore in Naas.
Applegreen's parent company, Petrogas Group Limited, wants to demolish all buildings on the Cemex site near the Naas Ball.
Being planned is a new electric vehicle charging hub for 36 vehicles along with eight electric bus/HGV charging spaces.
The designs include the construction of eight buildings comprising a distribution centre, offices and 13 loading bays.
Also planned is a service station with retail area, seating area, drive-thru hatch and toilets.
The entrance off Johnstown Road will be replaced with a new slip lane, according to the plans.
There will be car parking for 169 vehicles, cycle parking for 46 bicycles as well as 16 spaces for buses and HGVs.
The designs include internal roads, footpaths and cycle lanes, outdoor exercise areas, outdoor eating/picnic areas, a covered smoking area, roof-mounted solar panels and a new internal roundabout junction.
