Further information has been sought by Kildare County Council and Naas Town Council from racehorse trainer Dermot Weld on his 133-hectare integrated tourism, recreational, educational, commercial, residential development on the outskirts of Naas.
The plans include an educational campus, an 18-hole championship golf course, a 100-bedroom nursing home, a medical centre and more than 500 houses, apartments and villas.
The application for Pipers Hill, Killashee on the Kilcullen road, was jointly submitted by the Co Kildare Vocational Educational Committee (VEC) and Mr Weld, the landowner.
He promised the VEC a site to relocate St Patrick's secondary school in aeffort to get support for his proposals. The campus will include a post-primary school, gym, playing pitches, with part of the land reserved for two future primary schools and a college of further education.
It has been reported South African golfer Ernie Els will be involved in the design of the golf course, which will have a two-storey clubhouse and 96 villas.
Kildare County Council has asked Mr Weld to set out a timetable for the completion of road works on the Kilcullen road and the provision of a link road to the Newbridge road.
The development plan for the area states development of the land is contingent on the provision of the works.
The request also deals with sewer network capacity, provision of public amenity space, roads, the impact of some of the apartments on the neighbouring Killashee House and Traffic Impact Assessment clarifications.
It says the residential and educational aspects of the development encroach on the neighbourhood centre, materially contravening the development plan. It adds that such a layout needs to be comprehensively reconsidered.
Naas Town Council received 13 objections, while Kildare County Council received 22 objections to the project. Most were from local residents concerned about the impact of increased traffic.
Cllr Mary Glennon expressed fears that the inadequate road infrastructure cited by An Bord Pleanála in refusing a previous application by Mr Weld still exists. She said the developer did not have to meet the 20 per cent social housing requirement because of his 20-acre donation to the VEC.
