A major Planning Application has been lodged for Mount Anville Road, Dublin 14. Niall Mellon’s Knockrabo developments has applied for 330 apartments, 34 duplexes and 5 townhouses in 8 blocks ranging from 2-8 storeys, along with creche, gymnasium and parking for 538 cars.
It seems ambitious since ABP overturned an earlier permission for 569 units in 2002. I could be wrong but I also think that the link motorway will eventually cut through the site.
From the picture in the paper the views from the site look spectacular . I can hear the local residents stirring……

yeah sorry, can’t read. The article said that the development was €250million but I reckon that must be a mistake. Assuming 369 units at an average of €500000 per unit, it’s hard to see it being worth their while if the total cost incl fees vat etc exceeds €125million

if the motor way slices the site – Developer might smell a nice CPO on his Development, I bet nothing gets built – :confused:

The CPO for that motorway would have been public knowledge for some time. If it does cut through the site then the planning permission would have to include it and specifically note it and the development proposals would have to exclude the area subject to the CPO.

Yes, you are correct, what was I thinking?
Tip: Don’t drink in Temple Bar – I am a Dubliner, who has lived half of my adult life in this city, but avoided going to temple bar for a few sherries for reasons of snobbery/distaste/dislike of loud shirts, I was proven correct in my attitude last evening, I don’t know much about chicken, but it was foul. Nasty.

I wasn’t scared/repulsed/disgusted by the foreigners of many nations, it was the natives , I felt, that added a touch of crass to it all. What was I thinking???? there is only one word to describe my actions – idiocy.
Just not me.
