Changing landscape of the Greenhills Road

A NUMBER of proposed and currently under construction residential developments along the Greenhills Road are indicative of the changing landscape of the area.

The former Gallaher’s cigarette factory site is set to be the location of the development of 502 apartments after planning permission was granted last year.

Plans for the construction of a nursing home and independent living blocks in the grounds of St Mary’s Priory were approved last December.

In February last year, An Bord Pleanála deemed that ‘further consideration/amendment’ was needed regarding a proposal for the construction of 263 apartments on a vacant site near the Astropark.

The Agneli Motors site on the Greenhills Road was the subject of a pre-planning consultation for the development of 241 build-to-rent apartments, which An Bord Pleanála ruled in December 2021 “required further consideration/amendment”.

The former Cable and Wireless site on the corner of Airton Road and Belgard Road is set to house 328 apartments, across two apartment blocks, after developer Power Scaffolding Supplies Ltd was granted planning permission in 2021.
