In the future community centres won’t be stand alone buildings. They’ll be built as part of large apartment schemes like these. Seems reasonable that space be provided. Not sure why the couldn’t just make it a condition of planning.
Look, we need homes full stop. At the same time, so much of this country is just houses after houses with no community/commercial space. I’m not sure what qualifies as community arts or culture space but this isn’t America, at the very least put in a park or something.
Shouldn’t they provide recreational, commercial and educational “commodities”,
like parks, shops and schools near and/or around big apartment complexes?
It will be an entirely commercial site now if anyone’s wondering from 176 homes to 0.
Because we dont need more homes. /s
>In a Strategic Housing Development (SHD) application first lodged in August 2022, the appeals board has now refused planning permission to Walls Construction Ltd to demolish its Rosemount House HQ, Northern Cross, Malahide Rd in Dublin 17 and replace it with a €77m nine storey mixed use scheme made up of 176 apartments.
Absolute farce that it takes 2.5 years to come to a decision based on a black and white technicality like this. Someone could have spent 1-2 days scanning through the application back in 2022 and immediately picked up on something like this
Or the space where the junkies/drunks congregate, as it will become.
I mean it’s very valid, that place is terrible for bringing up young people. The area is hemmed in between Bewleys and offices and the m50 junction. There’s no park or green spaces for a dense neighbourhood. We’re in danger of desifying wrong *again*, with apartment sprawl. Where are the parks, where are the areas to get out of the Apartment?
This is a good thing. I lived in an apartment block in north Dublin on and off from 2011-2020. In 2011 you’d barely see a kid, just single people and couples.
By 2020 it was practically a school yard. Kids everywhere, bored, disruptive and driving everyone crazy. Half the mong parents fault and half because they had absolutely fuck all else to do because the apartments weren’t designed to facilitate families.
