Plans to build 80 new homes in Kildare
€12 million proposed housing development
By Maria Lawler
A significant new residential development comprising 80 homes has been proposed, delivering a mix of houses and duplex apartments designed to meet a range of housing needs in Boycetown Kilcock Co. Kildare
The proposed scheme includes 68 houses and 12 one-bedroom duplex apartments, offering a variety of layouts for individuals, couples and families.
The housing mix features 19 two-bedroom terraced homes, 37 three-bedroom properties in a combination of terraced and semi-detached designs, and 12 four-bedroom semi-detached homes.
The 12 duplex apartments will be accommodated within six two-storey buildings, with each unit benefiting from a private balcony, terrace or garden.
A total of 138 surface car parking spaces will be provided for residents and visitors, alongside 66 cycle parking spaces, including 60 secure long-stay spaces and six short-stay visitor spaces, encouraging more sustainable travel options.
The development has been designed with future connectivity in mind, incorporating new internal roads, footpaths and cycle paths, while infrastructure will extend to the site boundaries to facilitate future links with adjoining lands. New vehicular access points are proposed from both the R148 and R158, together with a new footpath along the R148 and a link street connecting the R158 to the neighbouring Bawnogue Park residential development.
The proposal also includes a comprehensive range of supporting infrastructure, including foul and surface water drainage systems with attenuation measures, bin storage facilities, public and communal open spaces, landscaping, public lighting, and boundary treatments. All associated site works and utility services are included as part of the overall development, creating a well-connected and modern residential community.
