Re: Re: Save Tallaght’s village streetscape

Thanks Cathal… this building is less than one year old – what we are hoping for is the streetscape is respected in any newer developments. You are absolutely right when you say old buildings can be sympathetically developed. Clever design would ensure the new looks at home with the old. This has not happened wih any of the new developments in Talaght at all.
Why??

We have been given no answers / explanations as yet. Here is another example of where a new development stands uncomfortably against its historical neighbours.

People would welcome a desigm style which bears witness to its surroundings and respects the existing facades etc.

Any ideas how to achieve this with privately owned buildings?
