Planning & Development

Celbridge Community Council is an entirely voluntary organization that monitors planning and development proposals that have the potential to impact Celbridge. We analyse any impacts before making submissions on public consultations or lodging objections on planning applications.

Celbridge Community Council’s membership includes a group of citizens with a keen interest in the development of our town in a sustainable and tasteful manner. We have wide representation from many areas of the town and our submissions aim to consider and represent the interests of the whole of the town.  Many of our submissions are to Kildare County Council, some are to South Dublin County Council and we have also made submissions on development and transport proposals with a regional or national scope.  Planning objections would be lodged either with Kildare County Council or An Bord Pleanala.

Celbridge Community Council chooses the papers, proposed plans and development applications on which to make submissions or planning objections based on whether:

• the proposed development is strategic to the development of Celbridge as a whole
• the “estate village” heritage and character of the town may be enhanced or jeopardized by the proposed development
• the quality of life of the Celbridge community may be impacted by the proposed development; the interests of commuters, young people, older people and all ages in between are considered
