3 shownWe, O’Flynn Construction Co. Unlimited Company intend to apply to Dublin City Council for permission for development at this site, part of the ‘Nissan Site’ (c.1.86 ha), to the east of Walkinstown Avenue at the junction of Walkinstown Avenue and Naas Road. The development will consist of amendments to a previously permitted (Reg. Ref. 3228/20, as amended by Reg. Ref. 3792/23) mixed-use development comprising part Build to Rent development. The development will consist of the following proposed modifications: I. Rationalisation of internal layouts and repurposing of common areas in Blocks I, J, K and L (no change to building heights or footprint), resulting in a total of 416 residential units (from 395 originally) as follows: a) Block I: Rationalisation of ground floor and eighth floor layouts resulting in 6 no. additional units, including 3 no. studio units and 3 no. 2-bedroom units; b) Block J: Rationalisation of ground floor and sixth floor layouts resulting in 3 no. additional units, including 2 no. studio units and 1 no. 2-bedroom unit; c) Block K: Repurposing of internal residential amenity area and adjacent rooftop terrace (external amenity area) at sixth floor level to provide 1 no. additional 3-bedroom unit, and an overall increase of 68 sq.m in the gross floor area (due to repurposing of the sixth-floor rooftop terrace); and d) Block L (Build to Rent): Repurposing of areas formerly designated as tenant amenities and support facilities at ground floor and sixth floor level, and a portion of the external rooftop amenity area at sixth floor level, resulting in 11 no. additional units, including 8 no. 1-bedroom units, 1 no. 2-bedroom unit and 2 no. 3-bedroom units, and an overall increase of 82 sq.m in the gross floor area (due to repurposing of rooftop amenity space). II. Permission is sought to omit the Build-to-Rent (BTR) designation of Block L thereby facilitating occupation by all tenures. III. Elevational changes to Blocks I, J, K and L, as follows: a) Ground-floor elevations of Blocks I, J, and L will be adapted to accommodate the proposed units, replacing curtain walls with windows and doors aligned with the upper-level fenestration, adding terraces, and resizing access openings; b) Upper-level elevations of Blocks I, J, K, and L will be revised, substituting curtain walls for fenestration that mirrors the levels below and incorporating balconies where required; and c) Inclusion of 9 additional terraces at ground-floor level and 67 additional balconies on upper levels (L01-L06) in Block L, ensuring compliance with private amenity space standards for apartment developments, to facilitate the proposed change in residential tenure. IV. Reconfiguration of 2 surface-level parallel car parking spaces and reallocation of public open space to provide 11 standard perpendicular parking bays along the accessway east of Block B, increasing the overall resident parking provision by 9 spaces in total. V. Provision of 32 additional long-stay bicycle storage spaces to serve the new residential units in Blocks I, J, K and L. VI. Communal open space for Blocks I and J (which remains greater than the required quantum) has been reduced to a cumulative total of 4,277 sq.m (from 4,287 sq.m) to facilitate the provision of additional cycle storage for residents. VII. Public open space (which remains greater than the required quantum) has been reduced to a cumulative total of 10,268 sq.m (from 10,389 sq.m) to accommodate 11 reconfigured surface-level car parking spaces as described in IV. VIII. Temporary permission (for the duration of planning permission) is sought for the erection of 2 no. advertising signs at the corner junctions of R112/R810 and R112/110.
