Planning Permission & Professional Team

A Final Grant of Planning Permission (Order No. P/0592/24 Reg Ref: LRD23A/0719) was confirmed by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council on 01 August 2024. The planning permission provides for 95 no. apartments in six blocks and 14 no. houses (1.5/2.0 storey) together with parking for 76 no. cars.

The development includes a mix of terraced houses and apartment buildings located generally on the Old Farmyard site and adjacent lands and the Lower Walled Garden and adjacent lands. The Upper Walled Garden will not be built upon but is proposed to serve the development to include a refurbished glasshouse, lawn, sensory garden, reflective orchard, food production garden and apiary (bee hives). Car parking for 76 no. cars and 147 no. bicycle spaces are located throughout the site. Ten car spaces are reserved for the Sophie Barat Residence residents. 
 
The development within the Lower Walled Garden contains a series of managed amenities available to all residents; reception, social spaces, reading rooms/library, small pre kitchens, self-service Barista bar, indoor and outdoor café areas, consulting rooms, gym, medical rooms small cinema, staff facilities, visitor reception area, meet and greet area, and communal bathrooms.
 
The Lower Walled Garden development leads on to the Upper Walled Garden with its outdoor amenities, see below. This area is designed to encourage communing with nature, enjoying walks, meeting other residents in the community coffee space, managing the bee hives presently on site, working on food production, and storing produce in the glass house.  

Following a review of planning applications on the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council website over the past 10 years, it appears that the subject property has not been the subject of any planning applications specifically related to the lands or buildings at this site, other than that of the age friendly scheme. Clearly there have been a number of applications related to developments at Mount Anville Schools, referencing access at Mount Anville Road, Goatstown.

Potential Accommodation for the Province

The development was designed to provide the Province with 12 apartments (8 x 1bed, 4 x 2bed, together with a community room, prayer room and 7 car spaces) at the self-contained (Block A). The Society will not insist on securing this accommodation.

 

It is understood that Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council had indicated that Blocks C and D (2 x 7 apartments, total 14 apartments) are the focus for Part V negotiations. The Society’s preference is that Sophia Housing would be the Approved Housing Body engaged to acquire and manage the Part V units.
