In a significant move for local housing, Kildare County Council has granted planning permission for an eight-house residential development valued at €1.7 million. This project, initiated by Vernon Estates Limited, was officially approved on March 9, 2026.

About the Development

The proposed development is set to take place in Ballitore, Athy, under the expertise of architect Brian Connolly and Associates. This venture aims to enhance the housing landscape in Kildare by constructing eight semi-detached, two-storey houses on a spacious site of 0.33 hectares.

Infrastructure Improvements

In addition to the new homes, the development plan includes the creation of a new internal road network connecting Abby’s Row and Cockpit Lane, along with new vehicular entrances on both streets. This infrastructure improvement is expected to facilitate better access for residents and enhance the overall functionality of the area.

Community Benefits

The addition of these houses will contribute positively to the local community by providing more housing options. As demand for residential properties continues to grow, developments like this are crucial in catering to the needs of present and future residents in Kildare.

Overall, this newly approved development not only represents an investment in housing but also enhances the local environment and community, promising a brighter future for Kildare.
