Proposal description

A residential development comprising: 526 residential units and all associated site and development works as follows: - 274 3-bed 2 storey terraced units, 185 4-bed 2 and 3 storey terraced and end of terrace units, 67 2-bed apartment/duplex units (37 2-storey, 2 bed terraced duplexes, 18 1-storey 2 bed terraced apartments and 12 1 storey 2 bed end of terrace apartments). The development also provides for a district park (4.58 ha) and a neighbourhood park (0.71 ha) in accordance with the Fortunestown Local Area Plan 2012. Permission is also sought for 789 car parking spaces, bin storage areas, ESB substations and all associated site development and infrastructural works. Vehicular access to serve the proposed development will be provided via two new access points off Garter Lane and via a new signalised junction at the southeastern corner of the site to replace the existing roundabout off Fortunestown Lane. Provision is made for a future access to Bianconi Avenue. In addition, an interim local square is proposed within the subject site providing a direct pedestrian link from the proposed development to the Saggart Luas stop. Two direct pedestrian links are proposed between the subject site and the adjoining school sites permitted under Reg Ref No SD16A/0255 providing a direct link between the school and the proposed district park and a direct link from the west of the school site to the proposed residential development. Lands identified for future development are located along the southern boundary of the current application site adjacent to Fortunestown Lane/Saggart Luas Stop. These areas will be subject of a future planning application (Phase 2) and will include the final design and layout of the local square.
