Moore Abbey, Monasterevin

Cushman and Wakefield, on behalf of the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary, has instructed Turley Town Planning Consultants to make a submission in respect of the Draft Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029 in relation to lands at Moore Abbey, Monasterevin.

The Draft Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029 (dKCDP 2023 – 2029) is intended to set the planning parameters for the future development of the County. The policies and objectives of the dKCDP 2023 – 2029 will also inform the preparation of a new Local Area Plan for Monasterevin.

Whilst the dKCDP 2023 – 2029 is not intending to rezone lands within Monasterevin, the proposed policies and objectives contained within the Plan will influence the quantum, and type, of development that the upcoming LAP will deliver. Through this submission we wish to ensure that Kildare County Council are aware that a significant asset, excluding any existing buildings or uses, in the south west of the County is available for redevelopment and that the policies and objectives of the dKCDP 2023 – 2029 are appropriate in order to maximise the development potential of these lands and encourage sustainable compact growth in the town.

Please see attached letter for details on our submission in relation to the draft Kildare County Development Plan 2023 - 2029
