Meeting on development

A public meeting is being held in Brannockstown NS on Thursday evening next on the matter of a proposed new housing development at Moorhill.

The development by Brian and Sarah Mullins is set to more than double the village's population, and the Diary has been informed that there is concern in the community about a number of aspects of the project.

These include what is described as 'the lack of housing integration' in the proposed plan, a lack of green space, a lack of social and affordable housing and the proposed community kickback of a 3-acre site located outside the Kildare County Council's village strengthening area, which may result in a contentious issue should planning be sought for a new school on the site.

All are welcome to express their opinions at the meeting, which will commence at 8pm.

Brian Byrne.
