Large scheme for Esmonde Motors site in StillorganEsmonde Motors is looking for permission from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to redevelop its 1.4-acre site at The Hill on the Old Stillorgan Road into a residential development and aparthotel.
It wants to demolish all the buildings on-site for a three to 11-storey development with a gross floor area of 16,966sq m (182,620sq ft). It would have 141 apartments, recessed gardens, winter gardens and roof gardens, a residents' play hall, and a launderette at mezzanine level.
The development includes a 38-bed aparthotel with private balconies or winter gardens in each unit. There would also be a restaurant with an outside terrace, a café with a mezzanine, a pub, six retail units, a kiosk and 335 car-parking spaces. A pedestrian plaza would link the old and new Stillorgan roads.
99 homes planned for site near school in Stillorgan
Shannon Homes is seeking planning permission for a development on a 2.3-acre site at St Raphaela's Convent, Upper Kilmacud Road in Stillorgan, Co Dublin. Earlier this year it emerged that St Raphaela's School had undertaken a land swap with Shannon Homes so it could build a hockey pitch. But the land swap involved some public open space which should have been in the control of the council. A recent report found that the local authority failed to follow through on a deed of dedication that would have protected the land.
The development would comprise 98 apartments and a townhouse. The apartments would be located in two blocks rising to six storeys, comprising 28 one-beds, 59 two-beds and 11 three-beds. There would also be a crèche and two visitor car-parking spaces. Vehicular and pedestrian access to the site would be off St Raphaela's Convent (which links to Old Kilmacud Road) and would include revisions to a traffic junction and new access gates at the entrance to St Raphaela's School. There would also be 204 car-parking spaces (15 surface, one under croft space and 188 at basement level).

Wesley Curran's Otranto Properties has applied for permission to demolish Mackey's Garden Centre on Castlepark Road in Dalkey, Co Dublin (above), and build 56 apartments in two four-storey buildings on the 1.4-acre site.
These would be 18 one-beds, 32 two-beds and six three-beds, and a single storey leisure building with a gym and 16-metre swimming pool. There would also be underground car-parking for 86 cars with access from Castlepark Road via electronic gates.
