Builders, Lioncor are to shortly lodge plans for a 284 unit ‘Large Scale Residential’ (LRD) scheme on a site at Terenure College in Dublin.
The plans come almost two years after An Bord Pleanála refused permission to Lioncor for a so-called build to rent 364 unit scheme on former playing pitches at Terenure College.
The rejected scheme rose to seven storeys.
At the time, the Carmelite Order – which runs Terenure College and owns the substantial land bank at the school- had stated the development would help secure the future viability of the college.

Now, Lioncor subsidiary, 1 Cellbridge West Land Ltd is proposing a scaled down plan omitting 80 units from the original scheme.
The new Large Scale Residential (LD) scheme for a site at Fortfield Road comes with a lower density that the 2022 plans and is designed as a “build to sell” development to meet the needs within the Dublin 6 area facilitating people downsizing their home who wish to remain in the locality as well as providing new housing stock.
The published statutory planning notice for the application to be lodged with Dublin City Council states that the new plans will comprise of 265 apartments and 19 four bed houses.
The apartments to be located in four apartment blocks comprise 117 one-bed apartments, 129 two-bed apartments, nine three-bed apartments and 10 studios along with a creche.
The notice states that Block A will rise to four storeys and provide 61 units, Block B will rise to five storeys and have 65 units, Block C will also be five stores but include 74 units and siz storey Block D will provide 64 units.
The scheme will also provide 165 car-spaces and 633 cycle spaces.
The planning board refused permission to the previous plans on a number of grounds. It concluded that it would materially contravene the zoning of the site.
It also found that the proposed development exceeds the recommended density for outer suburbs in the Dublin City Development Plan.
It stated that the proposed density was not justified by the available capacity of current transport facilities and the quantum of housing proposed was excessive.
