New tennis facilities approved in Naas by Kildare County Council
Enhancing sporting facilities in Naas
Naas Lawn Tennis Club has secured planning permission for a €2.8 million extension that will significantly enhance its sporting facilities at Oldtown, Naas, Co. Kildare.
The approved development includes the construction of a full-size artificial grass tennis court on the existing lawn in front of the clubhouses.
The new court will feature perimeter fencing ranging from 0.9m to 2.5m in height, together with 10m-high LED floodlighting to support year-round play.
The project also provides for two new mini tennis courts with artificial grass surfaces on the existing lawn west of Court 6.
These courts will be enclosed by 1.2m-high fencing and illuminated by 6m-high LED lighting columns, creating dedicated facilities for junior coaching and player development.
Planning permission was granted on 27 July 2026 following an application lodged on 20 January 2026. The extension will cover approximately 1,090 sq m on the club's 1.61-hectare site and represents a major private investment in local sporting infrastructure.
Shane Spring & Associates is the project architect, supported by Areng Consulting Ltd. on flood risk, Elma Fenton Landscape Architecture on landscape design, and specialist lighting consultants Philips Lighting Ireland and Signify. Uisce Éireann Irish Water is also involved in the development. The project remains at the plans granted stage ahead of construction.
