Westar Investments has applied for planning permission to extend/alter previously granted plans for a large-scale residential development (LRD) in Naas, Co Kildare.

The application, if successful, will see the development extended by a further 13 apartment units.

The address of the proposed development is the townlands of West Naas, 'Finlay Park (Zone 1)', Naas, Co Kildare.

The alterations proposed relate to blocks b and c of the granted residential development.

The alterations include: the provision of 13 additional apartment units as follows: three one-bed, three two-bed, and two three-bed apartment units at fourth floor level of block b; and one one-bed, three two-bed and one three-bed apartment units at fourth floor level of block c.

The proposed alterations result in an overall increase from 139 to 152 apartment units, within the approved building footprint with no proposed increase in the overall building height permitted under ref. 22/221502
The alterations also include amendments to all elevations to accommodate extended fourth floor level, matching the arrangement in the previously approved elevations; and all associated site works necessary to facilitate the proposed development including the provision of 80 additional bicycle parking spaces and 11 additional surface level car parking spaces.

The overall site layout remains as per the parent permission including road layout and services.
