Significantly Revised Planning Application For 85 Templeogue Road

In early 2016 An Bord Pleanala approved the redevelopment of the single house at 85 Templeogue Road with 29 houses and apartments. The Terenure Residents' Association, along with many local residents, had objected to this scale of development on the basis of density and effect on traffic and parking on nearby roads.

The developer has now resubmitted plans to build an extra 10 units on the site, making 39 in all.

These plans can be viewed on the Dublin City Council website at
www.dublincity.ie/main-menu-services-planning/planning-search 
(click on "search for a planning application", and then a second time, and enter in the "planning reference" box the reference 2707/17).

The Terenure Residents' Association will be joining with local residents and again be objecting to this
proposal. Should you similarly wish to make an observation, submissions need to be made by 17 May.

College Green Plaza - Public Consultation

The following is an open letter circulated by Dublin City Council:

The new Luas operations will commence in late 2017 and major traffic management changes will be necessary at College Green. These traffic management changes will also present an opportunity to develop a new Civic Plaza at College Green.

A public consultation process was held last November and we are now following up with an online public consultation. The online consultation is being hosted on the City Council’s website and can be found at www.dublincity.ie under Consultations, or at the following link:
