Mixed-use plan for Monkstown: Plans to demolish Monkstown Mansions to make way for a mixed-use scheme in Monkstown village have been lodged with Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.
Millanridge Ltd is seeking permission to demolish the residential block known as Monkstown Mansions and an adjoining tyre centre in the village and replace them with 27 one, two and three-bed apartments, two two-storey townhouses, five retail units, and one commercial unit to accommodate the Carrickbrennan Credit Union. The site is bounded on the north by Monkstown Grove and on the east by the Lambada apartment block. Fifty-seven underground car-parking spaces will also be provided.
29 apartments for Glasthule
A disused school building in Glasthule, Co Dublin is to be transformed into a residential development.
Maria Sweeney and Andrew Heavey from Dalkey have applied to Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council for permission to demolish the former school building and replace it with a three-storey over ground floor building with an additional upper mezzanine level. The scheme, at the junction of Adelaide Road and Eden Road Lower in Glasthule, will comprise 29 one and two-bedroom apartments. A basement car-park will have 18 spaces.
Clontarf scheme opposed
Plans to transform the former Verville Retreat in Clontarf into an apartment scheme have been opposed by local residents.
Earlier this year Dublin City Council gave the thumbs up to plans by the Verville Partnership to build 58 apartments at the landmark building, which is a protected structure that has been in institutional use for some time. It is located on Vernon Avenue and adjacent to the new Vernon Court apartments.
However, this decision has been appealed to An Bord Pleanála by locals, including Alan and Mary Freehill of 10 Grosvenor Court in Clontarf, who said the proposals would detract from the character, appearance and setting of the "significant building".
Summit Inn to be demolished
The Summit Inn in Howth, Co Dublin is to be demolished to make way for an apartment scheme.
The Gaffney Partnership is seeking permission to demolish the bar, disco, hotel rooms and the derelict snooker hall on the site at the corner of Thormanby Road and Baily Green Road.
If given the go-ahead, these buildings will be replaced by two three-storey residential buildings and 54 basement car-parking spaces.
