Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development would exacerbate an excessive density of development in this rural area and contribute to the increasing suburbanisation of the locality.
- The proposal represents piecemeal and haphazard development in close proximity to Naas, where lands are already zoned for residential purposes.
- The development would materially contravene Policies RH9(iv) and RH10 of the Kildare County Development Plan 2017-2023, which seek to protect the rural character and manage growth under urban influence.
