Zoning is Town Centre and Open Space & Amenity under the current Kilcullen Local Area Plan. The derelict Liffey Bank House is classified as a Protected Structure, and is listed on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage. In that it is described as 'representing the middle-size houses built by the prosperous merchant or professional class in Kilcullen in the late eighteenth/early nineteenth centuries'.

The properties were originally acquired by Sir Anthony O'Reilly of Castlemartin in 2007, when planning permission was sought by Arquette Limited for a mixed restaurant, cafe, retail and commercial, and apartments complex. Permission was granted in April 2008. An extension of planning permission duration was granted to Arquette in 2013.

In March of this year, an application for an extension of duration of planning permission was lodged by Mark Dyer and Drinda Jones. That application was refused by Kildare County Council on 2 May 2018. No appeal has been lodged.

Sole agents for the sale are Appleton Property.
