Plans to develop apartments alongside the BD Carlisle gym in Terenure have been submitted to Dublin City Council despite permission already in place for a large development.
The new proposal is for 145 apartments over five blocks that are five storeys in height, with the former plans approved for 208 units over five blocks of up to six storeys. A creche and community arts and culture space are both proposed within the new plans.
The previous application for the Kimmage Road West site had an appeal with An Bord Pleanala but ultimately was granted permission on the second stage. Issues in that appeal included its excessive density and height and overlooking of existing homes.
Concerns were raised regarding inadequate public transport capacity and insufficient car parking as well as significant flooding risks. A lack of adequate social infrastructure and an unsuitable unit mix for social and affordable housing was also considered an issue with the plans.
The new application include 89 car parking spaces, 465 bicycle spaces and six motorcycle spaces as well as public and communal open spaces. Access to the site will be via the existing BD Gym route.
Observations can be made on the application until July 30 2025. A decision will be made by Dublin City Council shortly afterward.
