Plans to increase the number of apartments at Traders Pub refused
By Aideen O'Flaherty
PLANS to increase the number of apartments in a permitted mixed-use development at the site of Traders Pub in Greenhills have been refused by South Dublin County Council.
The contentious plans received a number of objections from across the community, including from the Temple Manor Residents’ Association, Greenhills Scout Group, Greenhills Residents’ Association, Limekiln Green Residents and a number of local politicians.

Developers Double E Investments received planning permission for the mixed-use development in 2016, which included the demolition of Traders Pub.
The development, which is currently in the process of being built, has permission for the construction of an anchor retail unit that incorporates an off-licence and five retail units, a doctor’s surgery and 26 residential units.
However, the developers lodged another planning application concerning the development in December, requesting a number of revisions to the permitted development, including an increase in the number of residential units.
