The development includes a new vehicular access road from Garters Lane to the N7/M7 Naas Road, with two vehicular access points serving the proposed cemetery. It will also have 110 car parking spaces, eight bicycle parking stands.
The area currently has a lake which the hotel owners are planning to reshape and to build a footbridge.
