Planning application lodged for new primary care centre in EdenderryBy Rebekah O'ReillyA planning application has been submitted to Offaly County Council for the construction of a new purpose-built primary care centre in Edenderry. Dr Maurice Carroll lodged the planning bid for a primary care centre which would include social care services; a GP clinic, a retail unit and ancillary offices across two separate buildings. According to the plans, the proposed primary care centre and GP clinic aim “to deliver modern, integrated healthcare aligned with Ireland’s primary care model,” while also acting “as a civic anchor within the Blundell Masterplan, reconnecting the town, activating public space, and supporting a healthy, accessible and people-focused heart for Edenderry”. According to the plans, the Primary Care Centre and GP clinic aim to provide essential civic and community services that attract consistent daily footfall, while the retail unit, café and office accommodation introduce active ground-floor uses and employment opportunities that support town centre activity throughout the day.
