Kildare Co Council has refused planning permission for a major expansion for Greenfield Shopping Centre in Maynooth.
Planners said that the proposed development would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area for a number of reasons.
The total estimated construction value of the project was over €8m, according to Building Info database.
The applicants were Greenfield Shopping Centre Ltd, Boycetown, Kilcock.
The applicants wanted to build a 265 sqm extension at ground floor level comprising a new retail unit and coffee shop with an outdoor seating area, fronting onto the Straffan Road.
