62 homes for D6W site:New plans for a residential development on the site of the former Sunday World printing works at Terenure village, Dublin 6W, have been presented to Dublin City Council.
Developer Verdon Hall is seeking to demolish the print works buildings and replace them with 62 apartments, office space and retail units laid out in five blocks of four and five storeys.
The 0.5-hectare site, which was sold by Independent News & Media for over €18.5 million in 2005, is close to Terenure crossroads in the heart of the village. If the scheme gets the green light, it will have frontage on to Rathfarnham Road and Beechlawn Way.
In addition to the apartment element, the scheme will also incorporate 1,081sq m (11,635sq ft) of retail space and 1,004sq m (10,807sq ft) of office space.
142 apartments for Sandyford
Paddy Shovlin's Landmark Developments is seeking permission to add an additional 142 apartments to its Beacon South Quarter on the former Microsoft site in Sandyford, Dublin 18.
The redesign of the scheme will involve increasing the levels of three buildings.
Two buildings will be increased by three floors bringing them up to 11 and seven floors, and a third building will now comprise seven floors, an increase of two floors.
Dalkey scheme given go-ahead
The way has been cleared for the transformation of Dalkey Lodge Nursing Home into a residential development.
An Bord Pleanála has given the all-clear to Riddermark Developments to demolish the nursing home on Ardbrugh Road, which is situated to the immediate north of Dalkey Hill and Killiney Hill Park, less than 1km from Dalkey village.
The developer was given the go-ahead to build 15 three and four-bedroom three-storey houses on the 0.4-hectare site by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, but this was appealed to the planning board by Dalkey Community Council and next-door neighbours of the site, John and Collette Holmes.
Upholding the council's decision, the planning board described the scheme as a "sensitive infill development" which has struck a balance between the protection of established character and the need to provide residential infill.
