The subject lands are currently in tillage, with a gentle fall north to south towards the existing Castlebawn Estate, a well-established housing development. The lands present an excellent opportunity to deliver a high-quality residential scheme within the established village setting of Kilmeague, a growing settlement in west Kildare.
Kilmeague benefits from an attractive rural village character while remaining within convenient reach of the larger employment, retail and service centres of Naas, Newbridge, Kildare Town and the wider Greater Dublin Area.
The lands fall under the Kildare County Development Plan 2023–2029 (Variation No. 3) under which the lands are zoned for residential which seeks to provide for new residential development and associated ancillary services.
