Location
Kilcock is a service centre for the north Kildare/south Meath area and is a relatively compact town with a medieval street pattern. It is situated 33km from Dublin adjacent to the M4 motorway. The nearby university town of Maynooth is approximately 4km to the east. Given the excellent road and rail connections to Kilcock, it is likely the town will continue to grow and develop as a thriving suburb.
Many large employers have established their base in Kildare with Intel Ireland at Leixlip and the Kerry Group in Naas. These companies are now major contributors to the performance of the local and Irish economy.
The lands are very well positioned to the west of the town centre with all amenities at its doorstep including the train station.

Zoning
The lands are zoned in the Kilcock Local Area Plan 2015 2021 with an Objective A Town Centre to provide for the development and improvement of appropriate town centre uses including retail, commercial, office and civic use.
The purpose of this zoning is to protect and enhance the special character of Kilcock town centre and to provide for and improve retailing, residential, commercial, office, cultural and other uses appropriate to town centre. It will be an objective of the Council to encourage the use of buildings and backlands and especially the full use of upper floors. It is also an objective of the Council that ground floors where appropriate will provide active frontages. Generally two and in exceptional circumstances three storey buildings will be preferred. Warehousing and other light industrial uses will generally not be encouraged within the town centre.
