An application by Ardstone Capital property developers has been fast-tracked to An Bord Pleánala for the development of 450 new homes for the Leixlip area.
The company made the planning application directly to An Bord Pleanála, bypassing Kildare County Council, which developers seeking to build more than 100 homes in a single project are now entitled to do. It is expected that the huge housing project will cost in the region of €40 million to complete if it gets the green light.
The site of the project is at Barnhall and on a site located to the north of the Wonderful Barn Complex and directly adjoining the existing residential areas of Rinawade, Castletown and Elton Court.
The proposed residential development comprises of the following;
- 189 three-bed houses
- 113 four-bed houses
- 48 two-bed houses
- 42 three-bed duplex units
- 42 two-bed apartments
- 16 one-bed apartments
In addition, the proposed development provides a childcare facility (approximately 538sqm) with capacity for in the order of 105 no. children.
Access to the proposed development is via a new roundabout on the Celbridge Road (R404) which will facilitate new vehicular access to the application site and a dedicated entrance arrangement to the Wonderful Barn Complex.
Pedestrian/cycle pathway and linkages to the proposed development and the Wonderful Barn complex will be provided at the Celbridge Road.
