Groundskeeping and maintenance building is approved for CRH at Belgard Castle

PLANS for a new building to contain all staff and storage requirements for the groundskeeping and maintenance of the Belgard Castle estate in Tallaght have been given the green light.

The application by CRH Group Services Ltd sought permission for the removal of three existing groundskeeping sheds and a portacabin unit and for it to be replaced with the new building.

The proposed building is 795sq.m and consists of areas for storage of machinery ground maintenance equipment, general storerooms and a mechanical and electrical plant room.

A part mezzanine floor will provide for additional storage space at first floor.

Staff facilities to be provided include an office area, a canteen, changing/locker rooms with toilets and showers.

Externally there will a vehicle and equipment wash area, general hardstanding, and staff car parking.

Associated civil works include connections to a rainwater storage and connection to a RW soakaway, and a connection to the existing mains for foul water services.

The building will be clad in green corrugated sheeting, while burnt timber sheeting will clad the staff area, which will also have a sedum green room.

On July 24, South Dublin County Council granted permission for CRH Group Services for the new building.
