MATERIAL CONTRAVENTION OF THE CELBRIDGE LOCAL AREA PLAN 2017-2023
Planning Register Reference 24/60371
Notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 34(6) of the Planning & Development Act 2000 (as amended) that Kildare County Council intends to consider deciding to grant permission to O'Flynn Construction Co. Unlimited Company, The construction of 61 residential units, (comprising a mix of one-bedroom duplex/ apartment units, two-bedroom houses and three-bedroom houses), a crèche, and all associate ancillary site development works, including vehicular access, drainage, services, footpaths, cycle path, lighting, landscaping and amenity areas, bicycle and car parking. One existing entrance into the Oldtown Woods estate from Oldtown Road (as permitted under ABP -303295-18) is to be removed and a new entrance from Oldtown Road provided at Oldtown, Celbridge Co. Kildare.
Following a further information request, Further information was received by the Planning Authority on 14/03/2025, which was deemed to constitute Significant Further Information and revised public notices were received on the 15/04/2025.
Reason for Proposed Material Contravention
The development is proposed on lands zoned ‘E: Community & Educational: “To provide for education, recreation, community and health”, where the proposed residential development use would not normally be permitted under the land use zoning matrix unless the dwellings are ancillary to health / community use to meet special accommodation needs. The development would therefore contravene materially that zoning objective of the Celbridge Local Area Plan 2017-2023.

Particulars of the development may be inspected or purchased at the offices of the planning authority at the address below during opening times of 9:30 a.m.– 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday (closed Bank Holidays), or viewed online athttps://webgeo.kildarecoco.ie/planningenquiry
