The service station site
A planning application for a huge service station site outside Naas is imminent.
A Naas Municipal District meeting was told that Applegreen has indicated it is a “very advanced stage of preparation of a planning application.”
And the company aims to lodge it with Kildare County Council within the next month.
The company’s failure to proceed with the original plan for the former Cemex plant near the motorway junction on the Dublin side of the town, has been criticised by local politicians - as has the condition of the site.
“It looks like a bomb site. We’ve got so used to it we hardly see it,” Cllr Bill Clear told a previous meeting.
Planning permission for the development was granted in 2014 by Kildare County Council.
When this happened the council said development levies would amount to €760,000.
The proposal was to build a 400 square metre floor area development embracing a net retail sales area of 100 square metres and a restaurant seating area of 107 square metres.
Also approved were 41 car park spaces, 15 bicycle spaces and six fuel pump stands, including two stands to cater for trucks and heavy goods vehicles.
However the planning application was subsequently withdrawn by the company.
