Planning refused for 364 unit build-to-rent apartment on Terenure College lands

Terenure College, Dublin. Terenure College, Dublin. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL has refused planning permission to contentious plans for a seven storey high 364 unit build-to-rent apartment scheme on former playing pitches at Terenure College in Dublin.

However, the council has refused planning permission to the Large Scale Residential Development application after 240 objections were lodged against the scheme.The Council turned down the scheme after concluding that due to its design and layout, with particular regard to the southern ‘servicing’ access arrangement, it would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard due to the creation of vehicular/pedestrian conflict.

The report also states that “the site is a zoned and serviced site within an established area where a wide range of services and facilities exist. The site is also proximate to a number of bus services and cycle facilities. A high quality residential development on this site has the potential to contribute to the provision of housing in the area”.

Local resident, James O’Donoghue of Lakelands Park told the Council that “build to rent is most undesirable for this area. It will not encourage integration with the local community”. They stated: “Build to rent schemes provide for a transient population that goes entirely against the sense of community in Terenure, and the prospect of anti-social behaviour from a development like this is a concern.”

7 stories insane

Bushy Park House and Fortfield Square are all leased out. How is it out of keeping with the surrounding area? Ideal location next to a major spine of the Bus Connects route, with 24 hour buses. There's no hope.

The ppl bailed these out not so long is it kick in the teeth time

Build to Rob!! Paltry number of houses. Build proper homes so people can raise families and build a community.

Good! Build to rent are no good
