Plans lodged for a new community health facility in Meath
Plans to develop a community health facility in Meath has been described as a “significant and timely step forward” in strengthening healthcare infrastructure in the county.
A planning application submitted to Meath County Council by Kendrick Properties Limited sets out to construct a new community health centre on Trim Road in Navan, in a bid to enhance local access to healthcare and community services.
The proposed development includes the construction of a three-storey building that will accommodate a community health centre, including meeting rooms, treatment rooms and office spaces.
In addition to the main building, the proposal also outlines plans for on-site car parking, landscaping, boundary treatments, and all associated site works necessary to facilitate the development.
Fine Gael councillor Yemi Adenuga welcomed the planning application and said the proposed development is a “significant and timely step forward in strengthening healthcare infrastructure in Navan.”
“I particularly welcome this development at a time when we urgently need more healthcare services to meet the needs of our growing town. Access to high-quality, local health services is very important to the wellbeing of residents, and this project reflects a clear commitment to delivering that,” she said.
“As Navan continues to expand, it is essential that we invest in healthcare and community spaces that are accessible, modern, and designed to serve a diverse population.”
“I am especially encouraged by the integrated approach to this project, which includes thoughtful planning around parking, boundary treatments, and landscaping, helping ensure the facility is well embedded within the local environment.”
“I will be closely following the progress of this application and will continue to advocate for inclusive, responsive health services that leave no one behind,” Cllr Adenuga added.
