BREAKING: Top Kildare hotel announces new proposed development

A planning application has been submitted to Kildare County Council for 34 new rooms at a Kildare hotel. 

Osprey Hotel & Spa in Naas wants to build on a three storey extension to the hotel to provide the 34 additional bedrooms.

The ground floor level will be a screened surface car park providing 19 parking spaces, with stair and lift access for residents, to the upper floors.

A further seven parking spaces are to be provided adjacent to the chiller compound.

The proposed extension is to be constructed on the site of an existing car park which currently provides 32 spaces.

The entrance to the reconfigured parking area is to be relocated to the east end of the proposed bedroom block.

The existing single storey plant room for the hotel back up generator is to be demolished and the generator is to be relocated to the chiller compound which is below ground level.

The existing hotel courtyard will be landscaped to create a wedding garden and the landscaped berm above the existing car park ramp is to be reprofiled to provide pedestrian access from the ground floor of the new extension to the hotel reception area.
