Veterinary practice gets green light in this Kildare town
The development is proposed for a site at Capdoo, Clane
Plans have been granted for a new €2.8 million mixed-use development in Clane, Co. Kildare, which will include a veterinary practice and two detached industrial units.
The development is proposed for a site at Capdoo, Clane, and involves the demolition of an existing bungalow and the decommissioning of a septic tank currently on the property.
Under the approved plans, Unit 1 will comprise a two-storey building containing a veterinary practice on part of the ground floor, alongside a light industrial unit spread across the remainder of the ground floor and first floor. A second detached building, Unit 2, will accommodate an additional light industrial unit.
The overall development will have a floor area of 1,021 square metres on a 0.22-hectare site. Access will be provided via a road previously granted under planning permission 23/525, while the treatment system approved under the same planning file will also be relocated as part of the works.
Planning permission was granted on 8 May 2026 following an application lodged on 31 October 2025. The project is privately funded.
The applicant is Sarah Jane King, with planning agents Brian Connolly Associates, based in Clane, acting on the project. A number of specialist consultants are also involved, including environmental, engineering and infrastructure firms from Kildare, Meath, Dublin and the UK.
The scheme is categorised within the medical sector due to the inclusion of the veterinary practice, while also providing additional light industrial space in the growing Clane area.
