The plans are in relation to the Northwest Quadrant, an area of approximately 300 hectares extending from Naas Harbour to the M7 motorway, with the Grand Canal on its eastern edge and the New Caragh Road bordering the west.

The plans include 4,000 new homes to accommodate 11,000 people, as well as space for up to 5,000 jobs.
The Northwest Quadrant is the largest development site in the county and one of the largest in Ireland.
Northwest Quadrant as well as Maynooth (West), Confey (Leixlip), and Celbridge (south) have been identified by KCC for housing delivery to be "accelerated".
With delivery expected to commence in 2028.
