Planning approval for 227 homes in second phase of Kildare development

Meitheal Architects have announced the successful planning approval for the second phase of a Large-Scale Residential Development (LRD) in Co Kildare.

Commencing on site in September 2024, the Cairn Homes Leixlip Gate development will deliver a total of 227 units, further enhancing housing availability in the Leixlip area.

Ranging from one to four-bedroom houses, duplexes, and apartments, each unit has its own private open space, providing residents with a comfortable and adaptable living environment.

Situated near the historic Leixlip Gate Lane and within close proximity to Leixlip town centre, the development offers residents convenient access to a wide range of amenities, essential for modern living.

The project's design ethos prioritises connectivity and community integration, ensuring seamless linkage with the nearby ‘Harpur Lane’ estate to foster a ‘cohesive neighbourhood environment’.

One of the highlights of the planning approval is the provision for numerous landscaped open spaces throughout the development. These recreational areas, along with a public park adjacent to the new estate, have been ‘meticulously designed’ to integrate with the native established mature landscape, enhancing the overall well-being and quality of life for residents.

Patrick O’Toole, Managing Director of Meitheal Architects, said they are “thrilled” to have secured planning approval for the second phase of the Leixlip Gate development in partnership with Cairn Homes.
