SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, October 24, 2017
QUESTION NO. 7
QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell
"To ask the Chief Executive if there has been any approaches from the owners of the former VL Byrne site in Palmerstown or if any discussions have taken place with the owners in relation to developing the site using the current or alternative plans?"
REPLY:
An extension of duration of permission was granted for a period of 5 years on 27th January 2015 on the site in question at Kennelsfort Road Lower, Palmerstown. The extension of duration relates to a permission for a mixed use development comprising a 220 bedroom aparthotel, 102 residential units, retail, office, restaurant, café, library and health centre.
A pre-planning meeting was held on 30th August 2017 regarding a residential development on the site consisting of 300 apartment units with ancillary facilities including gym, community / recreational rooms and crèche. Any planning application proposing this quantum of residential development would now be dealt with by An Bord Pleanala under the new Strategic Housing Development requirements (which provide that planning applications for residential development above 100 units would be dealt with by An Bord Pleanala in consultation with the relevant Planning Authority). As such, South Dublin County Council would be consulted regarding any such planning application.
