the development will consist of: construction of a single storey discount foodstore of 2200 gross floor area (GFA) with a net sales area of 1,409sqms with an ancillary off license sales area; car parking for 119 cars including accessible spaces, cycle parking and electric vehicle parking spaces (circa 20% of spaces will be wired for future EV parking). The store will include photovoltaic panels at roof level; trolley bay with cycle parking; bin store and new ESB Substation building as well as a pedestrian and cycle link connecting to the northern boundary in line with the current termination of the existing pedestrian path extending along the eastern elevation of the Supervalu store to the northern boundary of the subject site. There is also provision for future pedestrian and vehicle link from the proposed access road to lands to the east of the application site. The construction of a single storey café unit (165sqms) positioned adjacent to a proposed plaza area which together are located in the existing car park area to the west of St. Peter and St. Paul's Church ('The Church'). The vehicular entrance to the development will be approximately in the same location as the entrance to the existing car park, west of The Church. The existing ESB substation in this area will remain in place. The café will also have an enclosed bin store. The construction of a new car park (53 spaces) located to the north east of the Church and for its exclusive use. It will be connected to the internal grounds of The Church via a two-way connection. The main entrance and exit will be onto the access road serving the proposed foodstore. This access road in turn will have a footpath along its east side, running parallel with The Church boundary. There will also be a crossing point from the existing pedestrian connection on the north west boundary of The Church. For clarity the majority of the existing north east, walled, boundary of The Church is proposed for removal along most of its length to facilitate the operation of the new Church car park. The application also includes works and road markings to improve traffic management related to Vehicular access to and from the site on Main Street. A right turn lane is proposed on Main Street with works to the public space located to the south west of Main Street including alterations to kerbs lines; minor relocation of one disabled parking space and relocation of bollards and other works to footpaths as required. ……...
