Green light for new glamping project near Kildare town

An agri-tourism glamping and cycling business has been granted planning permission for a site near Kildare town.

A planning application was submitted to Kildare County Council for the proposed venture near the Irish National Stud and Japanese Gardens.

The proposals for the Tully East area included the change of use from a stable block to a two-bedroom one-storey glamping pod.

Also in the designs is a one-storey extension to the north, east and west elevations of the stable block to provide storage for bicycles.

In addition, the designs included three one-bedroom, one-storey glamping pods.

A nearby certified organic livestock farm is also planned as an attraction to holidaymakers.

An existing drinking water well is proposed to serve the glamping pods.
