The entrance to the Kilcullen Business Campus, as seen via Google Maps Street View.
A new regional distribution warehouse / logistics centre has been proposed for County Kildare.
CMT Transport Limited has lodged a planning permission application with Kildare County Council (KCC) to construct the development at Site 11 of the Kilcullen Business Campus in Kilcullen.
According to the application, the proposed main building would have a gross floor area of 3,230 square metres, and will have an overall height of 12.8m (from finished floor level to parapet level), with two storey ancillary offices, staff facilities and a driver's waiting area located within the main building envelop.
Permission is also being sought for six loading docks and a level access loading bay located in the warehouse area, internal plant within warehouse, ground level air conditioning units, roof and southern elevation mounted solar panels and back lit elevation signage.
Ancillary to the main building, a new 6.5m high sprinkler supply storage tank and ancillary 3.5m high pump house for fire safety is also being proposed.
If granted the green light by KCC, the proposed development would involve the reconfiguration of an existing turning bay with ancillary roadside verge works and road markings, extension of the existing foul sewer and water main public infrastructure, onsite car parking spaces (including disabled spaces and electric vehicle spaces) and onsite cycle parking spaces.
The development would also include site development and facilitation works, including: a new vehicular entrance, internal drainage infrastructure with connection to existing surface water pipeline, waste and recycling areas, boundary treatments, landscaping, service yards, internal roads, footbaths, lighting, internal gates and a fire tender access route.
The date received on the application is listed as January 19 last, while the submission-by and due dates are listed as February 22 and March 14 respectively.
CMT Transport Ltd was established in 2004 by brothers Robert and Liam Browne as a small haulage operation, according to the website Irish Trucker.
The company operates from a warehouse and offices in Naas Enterprise Park, Naas, County Kildare.
