What’s proposed

Modifications to Apartment Block B of the residential development permitted under Reg. Ref: SD15A/0017 & ABP Ref. PL 06S.244732, which is currently under construction, at Scholarstown Wood, located south of Scholarstown Road, west of Stocking Lane, north of Ballyboden waterworks and east of Woodfield, Dublin 16. The purpose of this application is to ensure compliance with the specific planning policy requirements of the Sustainable Urban Housing: Design Standards for New Apartment Guidelines for Planning Authorities as they relate to the permitted development on the site, pursuant to Section 34 (3A and 3B) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended. The proposed modifications relate to the permitted Apartment Block A, including Apartment No’s 248-281, at the western section of the permitted development and consist of the following: the omission of 2 stair/lift cores and 2 entrance lobbies and the provision of 1 stair/lift core and entrance in the central section of the apartment block and associated internal changes involving the reconfiguration of the permitted layout for Unit No’s 248-281 (no change is proposed to the permitted number of units); alterations to the permitted unit mix of Unit No’s 248-281, from 7 1-bed and 27 2-bed, to 7 1-bed, 25 2-bed and 2 3-bed; alterations to the permitted basement level, including a reduction in the GFA from 1,409.2sq.m to 998sq.m resulting in the reduction of parking provision from 35 spaces to 28 spaces and reduction of cycle parking spaces from 40 spaces to 8 cycle parking spaces at basement level (including 4 cycle spaces allocated for Block C); relocation of 30 cycle parking spaces to ground floor level and provision of 5 surface parking spaces at the front/eastern elevation. The total car parking provision of Apartment Block A is 34 spaces and 2 visitor parking spaces. The total cycle parking provision decreases by 2 spaces from 40 spaces to 38 spaces (including 4 cycle spaces allocated for Block C); elevational changes include modifications to the proposed entrance of the apartment scheme, provision of balconies at first and second floor level on the southern elevation and adjustments to the fenestration at ground to third floor level of the northern and eastern elevations. The proposed modifications result in a total net reduction of the permitted GFA from 4,757.8sq.m to 4,314sq.m
