Local residents oppose plan for former Terenure College pitches

Residents in Terenure in Dublin are opposing plans for a seven-storey, 364-unit build-to-rent apartment scheme on former playing pitches at Terenure College.

The plan by Lioncor — which also includes 21 houses — for the build-to-rent and build-to-sell scheme for Fortfield Road, Terenure comprises four apartment blocks rising to seven storeys. They comprise 15 studios, 166 one-bed apartments, 174 two-bed apartments and nine three-bed units.In one objection, Dr Paul Redbond told Dublin City Council that the scheme “would seem to be excessive in terms of density and height”.

Local couple, Mark Carroll and Fionnuala Crennan said: “We welcome a proposed new development on this site as it is badly needed but it must be done in a proper manner. We all know that there is a housing crisis but building thousands of build-to-rent schemes in the city charging extortion rents the majority of which people can’t afford is no the way to solve it”.

In his objection, Colin McKeon told the council that the build-to-rent aspect is not in line with the area “which is a mature residential suburb of Dublin”.

No shortage of NIMBYs in Ireland.
