New planned developments in the pipeline across Kildare

The green light has been given to a number of new developments across Kildare.

Planning permission has been granted for a new café and restaurant in Naas.

The planning documents include alterations to provide a window opening to the existing shop front.

Also in the designs are replacement signage and internal alterations.

A fitness facility located in North Kildare has been granted planning permission from Kildare County Council to renovate its premises.

Planning permission documents show that Leixlip Amenities Group (LAG) plans to demolish the existing single storey changing rooms and main entrance area to the north and west of the Leixlip Amenities Centre on Station Road, Leixlip.

The LAG also sought permission for the construction of a new two storey extension to provide a new entrance and reception with café; new ground floor toilets, studio rooms, new changing and shower facilities and an expansion to the existing gym area.

A new first floor area will provide additional gym studio rooms, offices and storage.

Elsewhere, a planning application has been submitted to the Council for a development at the Keadeen Hotel in Newbridge.
