if it was the case that (god forbid), buildings were built to more than the common 5 floors within the docklands and around the heuston area (eg:the guinness store yards), to say 15 or 20 floors, does it not then stand to reson that all the young people of dublin might stand a chance of actually buying somewhere to live.
if a developer can go three or four times higher then there will be a lot more apartments available, with the consequence that supply will be more even to demand = cheaper property.
seems to me that the only ones these good old dubs are fooling by objecting to anything higher than a cardboard box are themselves.
another plus is that it is a lot easier to get people down 20 floors to work in the city centre than it is to get them in from 20+ miles out in the suburbs!
I agree completely. It would be a crime to tamper with historic areas of the city. However it is not as if there are not alot of brown field sights in and around the city centre (from heuston to the end of the docklands. surely the presence of tall slim well designed structures would only add to dublin.
why also is it the case that it seems to be the minority that are always listened to, when a planning application is submitted. there is always one crackpot?group of busy bodies who put the spanner in the works. Just because one person does not like a building tall or small, is no reson for an bord pleanala to rule against it, surely there should be a quota of objections which should have to be reached before action is taken to stop a structure going ahead?
