Sir, – The newspapers have focused on one proposed strategic housing apartment development (SHD) in Dundrum recently, citing the negative impacts on nearby homeowners and additional pressure on local services, as if it was a unique, isolated case.
Would any national media outlet like to champion the Tallaght community’s cause, who currently have 15 SHDs to contend with? They are overscaled, with plot densities that exceed local plan limits. Many are build-to-rent apartments, of disappointingly weak architectural design and fail to meet the local population housing profile for two-, three- and four-bedroom family homes. – Yours, etc,
