Permission for the €602 million build-to-rent scheme, comprising 540 studios, 603 one-beds, 418 two-beds and 53 three-beds, was granted in November 2021 to the Irish arm of US real estate giant Hines.

The judge also found An Bord Pleanála it did not sufficiently engage with Dublin City Council’s serious concerns about how mature trees and the “historic landscaping” would be affected by a significant basement development.Proposed €610 million Drumcondra scheme opposed by majority of submissionsDublin City Council’s conservation officer recommended refusing the project due to the impact on the protected structures and the undesirability of a large subterranean structure, said the judge.

The board’s inspector considered the removal of the 18-storey block unnecessary as it could sit side by side with existing protected structures without detriment. The judge said the board’s inspector did not make any reference to concerns regarding the radically diminished curtilage of the Red House.

Mr Justice Humphreys did not agree with the board’s finding that the development did not represent an express departure from the local development plan. “There is simply no way that such massively larger and bulkier buildings within the curtilages and attendant grounds could be said to respect the mass and scale of the protected structures,” he said.

Old men out of touch with reality appointed by out of touch politicians ruling for those with loads of money

Great way to solve a housing crisis.
