KELLAND Homes has submitted plans for the construction of 294 dwellings on a 6.3-hectare site within the Clonburris SDZ in the townland of Cappagh in Dublin 22.

The subject site is west of the Ninth Lock Road, south of the Dublin-Cork railway line, north of Cappaghmore housing estate and Whitton Avenue, and east of an existing carpark/park and ride facility at the Clondalkin Fonthill train station and the R113 (Fonthill Road).

The proposed development consists of the construction of 294 dwellings, a crèche and a retail/commercial unit.

The residential aspect of the development comprises 118 two-, three- and four-bed, two-storey semi-detached and terraced houses, 104 two- and three-bed duplex units accommodated in 10 three-storey buildings, 72 apartments in two four- and six-storey buildings.

The proposal includes one two-storey crèche, and one two-storey retail/commercial unit.

Access to the development will be via the permitted road network which provides access from the Ninth Lock Road to the east and the R113 (Fonthill Road) to the west.

The proposed development will connect into the permitted infrastructural works as approved under the Clonburris Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme 2019.

Parking is to be provided in the form of 401 surface car-parking spaces, and 799 bicycle-parking spaces.

A decision on the application is due from South Dublin County Council by August 29.
