Proposed development

LRD Application: Permission for Large-scale Residential Development - details can be viewed on https://firrois.ie/. The proposed development will consist of: (A) The replacement of 48 no. three-storey duplex apartments (8 no. 1-bed, 24 no. 2-bed, 16 no. 3-bed) and communal open space at Bridgegate Avenue with 40 no. two-storey residential dwellings (6 no. 2 bed, 34 no. 3-bed) each with rear garden private amenity space at Bridgegate Avenue and an extended Bridgegate Green. The proposals result in total of 264 no. dwellings within the overall SHD scheme.

(C) The provision of 483 no. surface car parking spaces (mix of on and off curtilage) to serve residential units (480 no. spaces permitted), internal road and shared pedestrian/cycle paths and provision of 630 no. cycle parking spaces (708 no. permitted) with on curtilage parking provided for proposed replacement dwellings alongside bin and bike stores. (D) Reconfiguration of site layout in the southern part of the development including amended landscaping and parking layouts to provide on curtilage parking, omission and amendments to rear laneways, elevational amendments to permitted House Type 6 and Duplex Types D7/D8, minor repositioning of block layouts and building lines to provide for bin and bike stores. (E) Provision of reconfigured water services infrastructure layout, public lighting, landscaping and all associated works necessary to facilitate the development.
