Plan for 40 apartments with balconies in Kildare

A planning application has been submitted to Kildare County Council for 40 apartments in the Leixlip area.

Developer Benduff Ireland Limited, based in Dublin, wants to demolish an existing two-storey house and single-storey outbuilding on the site at Old Hill off the Celbridge Road.

Being planned is a four-storey building over basement which will accommodate 40 apartments.

Each apartment will have access to a private balcony as well as a communal amenity space and a public open space.

Provision is also made for 50 vehicle spaces and five bicycle sheds to accommodate 60 bicycle spaces.

The designs include the construction of a new pedestrian entrance via Old Hill Road.

The project has an estimated construction value of over €9m, according to Construction Information Services.
