Council rejects apartment plan or landmark pub in TerenureThe owners of Quinlan's pub in Terenure, Dublin 6W, have been refused permission to demolish the premises to make way for an apartment development.
The pub's owners were seeking permission to pull down the two-storey premises and replace it with two four-storey apartment buildings comprising 37 apartments. The developer, Dodsbridge of 3 Arkle Road, Sandyford, also planned to build a shop at ground floor level.
Permission was refused by Dublin City Council because it said the scheme had insufficient and inadequate private open space and the units were too small. The scheme was of excessive scale and inappropriate design, the council added.
75 homes planned for former hockey pitch in Dublin 14
Scaled-down plans for a residential development on a hockey pitch in Dublin 14 have been lodged with Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council. M & N O'Grady wants to build 75 houses and apartments on the pitch which was once part of Loreto National School (now operated by Rathfarnham Educate Together National School). The development will also involve the demolition of a two-storey house at 54 Nutgrove Avenue.
Earlier this year the developer was refused permission for 80 apartments and houses on the site by the planning board which ruled that it would provide for a "poor standard of residential amenity". This time the developer is looking to build 31 houses and 44 two-bed apartments in six four-storey blocks.
