Well-known Kildare pub and restaurant to be demolished

A major redevelopment in Co Kildare is now set to proceed after planning permission was granted for a mixed-use scheme submitted by Mill Road Estates Ltd.

The approved plans allow for the demolition of the former Thatch Pub site on Main Street of Ballymore Eustace and the construction of a single-storey retail unit incorporating an off-licence, café, commercial kitchen, and staff/W.C. facilities.

The development also includes three new two-storey townhouses fronting directly onto Main Street—two Type A units and one Type B.

To the rear of the site, a courtyard will provide a service yard, 11 public car parking spaces (including one accessible space), six residential spaces, two EV charging points, and both public and staff bicycle parking totalling ten bays.

The permission also covers new connections to public foul and storm drainage systems along with extensive public realm works on Main Street and Chapel Street.

These upgrades will include refurbished footpaths and kerbs, a landscaped terrace on Chapel Street, and the addition of three new public parking spaces and five public bicycle bays.

The redevelopment of the long-vacant Thatch Pub site marks one of the most significant planning decisions in Ballymore Eustace in recent years, with construction expected to begin once conditions of the permission are finalised.
