More than 70 submissions on nursing home plan

Seventy-six submissions and objections have been registered so far in the documents associated with the planning application for an apartments and older persons care project in Kilcullen, writes Brian Byrne. None are in support of the application, by Curragh Property DAC.

Those who made submissions include residents from housing estates surrounding the proposed development and from other parts of Kilcullen, and from councillors.

Further submissions may remain to be registered as they are being processed by Kildare County Council planning staff. The closing date was last Tuesday.

The matter was the subject of a meeting last week in Kilcullen's Town Hall, organised by a group of residents concerned with the density, height, and scale of the proposed development, as well as the impact it would have on traffic and road safety.

The group has now formed itself as Kilcullen Community United.
