It is expected the lands could accommodate a new public parkland
Kildare County Council have this morning announced that it has signed a contract for the purchase of Donaghcumper House in Celbridge, with approximately 26.3 hectares of adjoining lands.
The Council currently own 12.3 hectares of land on the south side of the River Liffey adjoining the Donaghcumper landholding.
The purchase of these additional lands at Donaghcumper will re-unite the landholding into the Council’s ownership.
Kildare County Council have also said this purchase is part of a longer-term vision to establish the River Liffey Amenity Park and corridor and it is a step towards the County Development Plan objective to protect the special landscape character associated with the historic country estates and houses of Castletown, Donaghcumper and St. Wolstans.
In due course, and following the expected close of sale, Kildare County Council will prepare a masterplan for the Donaghcumper lands in consultation with the public and local stakeholders.
It is expected that the lands could accommodate a new public parkland with potential opportunities for sports, recreation, amenity, biodiversity initiatives together with some community and mixed uses.
