Phase One was completed in 2019.
KIldare County Council is preparing to seek approval to move ahead with the next stage of a €7 million housing estate redevelopment project.
Phase 1 of works at St. Patrick's Park, Rathangan, was completed 19 months ago.
This involved remedial and energy efficiency upgrade works to 34 units over 5 lots, including "substantial" works to 23 social housing units and minor works to 11 private units.
KCC, responding to councillors of the Kildare Newbridge Municipal District at the May meeting, says "Detailed proposals for Phases 2 & 3 were discussed with the Department of Housing Planning and Local Government (DHPLG) in 2019. Proposals for Phases 2 & 3 where presented to the Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District members in early 2020 and Kildare County Council public workshop meetings were help with the residents of St Patrick’ Park in Rathangan Library in March 2020. "
Feedback from those meetings was presented to KCC's Housing Section in April 2020 and amendments agreed.
Final proposals were issued to the design team and a revised scope of work agreed in mid to late 2020.
CCTV investigations of existing drainage were undertaken recently to finalise drainage proposals.
KCC says "Draft Part 8 documents have been for consultation with the internal sections of Kildare County Council and with Irish Water in order to finalise a Stage 2 application to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage seeking approval to launch a Part 8.
It is intended that this Stage 2 application will be submitted to DHLGH by the end of May 2021. A Part 8 will be launched once Stage 2 approval is received."
The project was first mooted in c.2007.
