Concerned residents appeal against three-storey apartment is unsuccessful
By Aideen O'Flaherty
AN APPEAL against South Dublin County Council’s decision to grant permission for a three-storey apartment at Carrigmore View in Aylesbury, Tallaght, has been unsuccessful.
Last November, an appeal was lodged with An Bord Pleanála (ABP) by ‘Concerned Residents of Carrigmore’ against the council’s decision to grant permission.
Residents lodged an appeal against plans for a three-storey apartment at this site in Aylesbury
In their appeal, the residents stated that the development would represent “poor planning”, would be “visually intrusive” as a result of its scale, height, mass and roof and window designs, and that it would set “an undesirable precedent” for other developments in the locality.
The residents added that, if ABP decided to uphold the council’s decision, the appeals board should consider making revisions to the plans, including removing the third storey and roof of the proposed development and replacing it with a pitched roof.
However, ABP ultimately upheld the council’s decision in their ruling on June 10, when they granted permission for the development without the revisions suggested by the appellant.
As previously reported in The Echo, Blessington-based developer JAS Ventures lodged a planning application with the council in March 2020, seeking permission for the construction of a three-storey building.
The proposed building is to provide two one-bed apartments at ground floor level and two two-bed duplex apartments at first and second floor level.
Provision of new vehicular access and car parking to front gardens and all associated site works is included in the plans.
This is the second time the developer has lodged plans for the Carrigmore site, as JAS submitted a planning application for an identical development in 2019, and while it was granted planning permission by the council, ABP refused permission after a third-party appeal.
