A company called Landmark Developments, with an address at the Cranford Centre, Montrose, Dublin 4, has applied for planning permission for a landmark redevelopment of the Oriflame site at a pivotal junction in Sandyford Industrial Estate.

Envisaged is a mixed use development in a cluster of blocks, one of which will be six storeys high. The site fronts on to both Blackglen Road and Bracken Road but will also have frontage on another road planned to be built to its south-west side. The location is near the Murphystown interchange on the South-Eastern Motorway, an extension of the Southern Cross Motorway which will be open to Ballinteer in 2001.

The site is also near the proposed Luas light rail system and virtually opposite the major redevelopments proposed for the former Legionaries of Christ premises at Leopardstown Road. The proposed development at Sandyford will include a science and technology and office-based industry park. It also allows for tele-marketing, data processing, software development and information technology uses.

There are also to be associated offices, and mixed ancillary services including restaurants, cafes, shops, commercial offices, a gym and a creche. The development is to include one six-storey and two five-storey buildings.

Also envisaged is one four-storey building, and two three-storey buildings linked by 3,120 sq m of covered streets serving 11 to 46 own-door units. New vehicular accesses to Blackthorn Road and Bracken Road; 646 basement car-parking spaces, with 14 surface car-parking spaces at Bracken Road; demolition of existing industrial buildings and offices and all associated site development, infrastructural and landscaping works are included.

The application for planning permission, given its comparatively high rise nature, is to be accompanied by an Environmental Impact Statement.
