Development description

(1) dismantling 2 no. Existing piers either side of the vehicular entrance, wall and gate (the pier to the north of the pedestrian entrance will be retained in situ). (2) providing a wider vehicular entrance measuring 5.58m wide (10.71m wide including pedestrian access) with a new capped pillar to the south (this will form an outer entrance). (3) the existing gates and 2 no. Piers will be relocated further east and a new pier erected. Together they form an inner entrance (the vehicular entrance will be wider than existing and the pedestrian entrance will now be on the south side). (4) the area between the new and old gates will contain a hoggin finish and will be enclosed to the north and south by estate metal railings and grass verge. The remaining area at the outer entrance will consist of an asphalt surface. (5) the proposed works will involve some work on public owned lands (kildare county council lands) involving new footpath to either side of the entrance (notably to the south side of the entrance where currently there is no footpath for pedestrians). (6) all associated site works including a “stop” sign at the outer entrance (western entrance), landscaping and the introduction of bollards in order to prevent parking
