Over 1,100 new homes proposed in 3 developments.
A community development group is call for a more sustainable approach to development in Newbridge.
Over 1,100 new homes are planned for the town, including over 600 in Great Connell, and 540 in two separate proposed developments in the Ballymany area.
An Bord Pleanala is adjudicating on all three applications.
There is disquiet, locally, however, because of the lack of social infrastructure, such as schools, to support new families moving to the area.
Evonne Boland is Chairperson of Newbridge Community Development.
Speaking to Kildare Today, she says there must be a more coherent approach to the evolution of the town.
