Plans for development of 52 apartments in Rathfarnham

PLANNING permission is being sought for the development of two apartment blocks on Woodside Drive in Rathfarnham.

The proposal by Anthony Byrne consists of the demolition of the existing dwelling and tennis court on the site and the construction of two apartment blocks around landscaped open space.

The first block has a height of four-storeys over basement, while the second block has a height of four- to five-storeys over basement.

The proposed buildings will accommodate 52 apartments comprising 38 two-bedroom and 14 three-bedroom units, all with associated balconies/terraces.

The basement will accommodate 58 car parking spaces, a refuse store, a plant room and an apartment storage area.

The development will include vehicular and pedestrian access from Woodside Drive via a revised entrance arrangement, and there will be ramped vehicular access to the basement.

Cycle parking, landscaped open spaces and boundary treatments are included, as is the construction of a foul drain to connect to the existing sewer at Woodside Drive/Hillside Drive.

The construction of a surface water drain to connect to the existing sewer at Woodside estate also form part of the application.

A decision on the application is due from South Dublin County Council by June 12.
