New bar and suites planned at Laois resort
An application has also been lodged for a single storey extension for golf simulators
An application has been lodged to transform part of a Laois golf academy and driving range into accommodation and a bar.
Midabey Construction Ltd has lodged an application with Laois County Council for the development at the Heritage Golf Resort, Killenard.
They are seeking permission to change part of an existing building, which had been used as a driving range and golf academy, into a single bedroom and four two bedroom golf suites. They also want to make “alterations to the existing driving range and golf academy to allow for the following: • Provision of a café / licence bar and seating areas including internal refurbishment and alterations within previous reception area.”
Planning approval is also sought for the “construction of a single storey extension to accommodate Trackman golf simulators to aid training and practice for golfers” along with “the construction of a new single storey Trackman driving range shelter adjacent to existing building which shall accommodate 10 bays.”
The plans include provision for 21 car parking spaces and all associated site development works.
Laois County Council is expected to make a decision on the plans by January 16, 2025.
