KCC reveal plans for large development at Naas Town Hall and what they plan to use it for

Kildare County Council have announced plans for the development of the Naas Town Hall, which will see the large building become a library.

The project is a large one which includes the demolition of outbuildings and offices in the rear yard area before the construction of two rear extensions – a single storey and two-storey – which will provide an extended library on ground floor, study facilities, meeting room, additional fire escape stairs and plant room.

The council have also included in their plans to change levels and landscaping of rear yard area to provide space for market, educational area and car parking spaces. A new pedestrian access gate will be formed on the rear wall opening onto Abbey Street. New openings with wrought iron grilles will also be formed on the side yard walls, opening on to Town Hall Lane and Moat Lane. The existing arch at Moat Lane will be opened out to form a glazed side entrance to the Library.

There will also be internal alterations to the existing building and alterations to the access steps at front entrance and revised landscaping.

Plans and particulars of the proposed development (Part 8 Ref No. P82018-13) will be available for inspection or purchase for a fee not exceeding the reasonable cost of making a copy, at the offices of Kildare County Council, Level 2 and Naas Library, Harbour View, Naas, Co. Kildare during its public opening hours during the period from Tuesday 6 November until Tuesday 4 December.
