Planning sought for 20-storey apartment Block in Santry

Planning permission has been requested for a massive apartment development, which includes a 20 storey high skyscraper, in Santry.
A number of objections have already been lodged against the controversial plans, which were lodged just before Christmas on December 21.
Planning permission has been sought for the demolition of a number of buildings including a pub and off-license, housing units, etc.
It is proposed that apartments and retail units will be built in their place. The development would be contained in four blocks ranging in size from three to 20 storeys in height.
According to Local Councillor Julie Carmichael, (FF), a number of residents’ associations have lodged objections.
“The Santry Environment Group and the Santry Community Group have also lodged objections to the planning application.” Cllr Carmichael stated that the plans were recently brought for pre-planning consultation with a council planning official.
The official stated that it was unlikely that the plans would be approved in their current form.
Overall, the application will contain 94 apartments in total: three one-bedroom units, 75 two-bedroom units and 16 three-bedroom units. If approved, the development will also include two restaurants, an off-license, a crèche and a pub.
It is believed that a decision on the application will be made before the end of February.
