Planning green light for 90 units in €50m project in Dublin

Dublin City Council has given a company backed by Denis O’Brien the go-ahead for a €50m luxury apartment plan in Donnybrook despite concerns from D4 residents.

In its decision, the city council has given planning permission for the five-storey apartment blocks containing 90 apartments but has ordered that the top floor in the fifth block be omitted.

The council has also ruled that the development does not require the provision of a child-care facility after consultants for Mr O’Brien’s Purleigh Holdings Ltd made the case that the existing child-care facilities in the wider area would cope with any additional demand from the development.
