What’s proposed

PROTECTED STRUCTURE RPS Ref: 3238 : Permission is sought for revisions to the granted residential development Reg. Ref. 4105/15 (An Bord Pleanala Ref. PL29N.246430) as extended under Reg. Ref. 4105/15/x1. Permission is sought to omit the granted 4-storey 69 no. bedroom nursing home to facilitate alterations and an extension to the previously permitted Block B. Alterations include an increase in height of permitted apartment Block B from 4-storeys to 6-storeys (five storey with sixth floor set back) over basement, with associated internal and external elevational and layout changes providing for a residential development comprising 99 no. apartments (41 no. one beds and 58 no. two beds) each with associated balcony, to all elevations, in lieu of the permitted 20 no. apartments (1 no. one bed, 18 no. two bed and 1 no. three bed units) and the 69 no. bedroom nursing home. The proposed development will include revisions to the permitted basement car park to now provide 72 no. car parking spaces (with 9 no. visitor spaces, 3 no. disabled parking spaces and 14 no. electric vehicle charging points), 3 no. motorbike parking spaces and 212 no. bicycle parking spaces (200 no. at basement level and 12 no. at surface level). Access to the basement level has been altered with vehicular access now proposed along the western boundary of Block B and pedestrian access to the northwest. Access to the proposed Block B is from Grace Park road as permitted under Ref. 4105/15. Planning permission is also sought to move the permitted ESB substation to the north of previously approved in addition to all ancillary site, landscaping and engineering works necessary to facilitate the development

    Zoning at the site

    Zone Z9 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028

    G5 — Open space and amenity

    Z9: Amenity/Open Space Lands/Green Network: To preserve, provide and improve recreational amenity, open space and ecosystem services.

    Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.

    R2 — Existing residential

    Z1: Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods: To protect, provide and improve residential amenities.

    An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.

    S5 — Sustainable neighbourhood infrastructure

    Z15: Community and Social Infrastructure: To protect and provide for community uses and social infrastructure.

    Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.
