The demolition of a former Newbridge shop to make way for three apartments has been proposed on an incompleted planning permission document lodged with Kildare County Council.
An applicant named Theresa Commins is seeking planning permission for these changes at a property located on the Station Road in Newbridge.
The official press office of KCC confirmed to the Leinster Leader that the property concerned is the site of the former shop known as The Nook.
According to the application, Ms Commins is seeking permission for: the demolition of the existing single-storey shop, and to replace it with two storey building with two one-bedroom apartments on the ground floor (with each having their own front door access and rear private open space to serve each apartment) and a two-bedroom apartment on first floor level (with own front door access at ground floor level with private open space balcony).
In addition, permission is being sought for four car parking spaces, secure onsite refuse storage to serve each apartment, bicycle parking, and all associated site works.
The date received is listed as August 25, while the submission-by date is listed as September 28.
There is no due date listed on the application.
