      AT LEAST double*

      5-8 floors should be the MINIMUM, with the average being in the 8-10 floor range, and a few buildings being quite a bit above that again.

      We should not limit high rise because of a prohibitive planning document instead each proposal should be judged on its individual merit
      Also as an aside any new high rise should be constructed in such a way that it would facilitate further floors being added as the need arises

      The comments on the article are insane, most are typical NIMBY comments on aesthetics, comparing to Ballymun flats, deporting migrants, etc…

      As long as space is kept on the ground floor for shops and amenities then yes

      What? Double the height of the capital city that contains over a million people? Absurd I say! Absurd!

      This message has been brought to you by a NIMBY from the council.

      Our cities at home are nuts.

      I live abroad, and I live in a sort of gated complex in a city. There’s 20 apartment blocks, and each one has 33 floors. Thousands of people housed, and you can cross the complex on foot in 2 minutes.

      Urban sprawl just means it’ll take people even longer to get into work in city centres, so then the traffic will get even worse because we have crap public transport, which makes it take even longer for everyone. Not to mention lack of efficiency etc in building single story homes.

      I live right next door, and while I’d miss a lot of the services I’m using in the industrial estate, it makes perfect sense to having it converted to high density residential area. That said, a word of caution. My estate has arounx 30k people (same as projected for Ballybogan at current density), but it grew organically over the past 20 years. Still, the school is totally inadequate (last year over half of admitted children were siblings, and the majority of applicants from the estate were rejected), the one local GP closed a few years ago, dental office doesn’t accept new patients, parish church is a 20 minute drive, and the rush hour traffic to and from the estate is absolutely horrendous. I often walk along Ballybogan road between 17 and 18, and it’s already a parking lot. I would strongly urge the planners to focus on infrastructure and services first. Not jus make available spaces, but actually fill them before people start moving in. If that’s not feasible, planning permission should stipulate very low rent limits for commercial spaces.

      It’s ludicrous that they’re stopping at 8 stories when the most recent development in pelletstown which is right beside it goes up to 12 floors

      No keep buildings short so that we can sprawl out, we need to widen the human footprint and destroy farms and nature. We need to remind the world that we have seen other places that have allowed sprawls and that we have learned absolutely nothing from others experience. Get those suburbs going spread people out and rely on cars so that we can sell them antidepressants when they’re lonely andCommunity breaks down!

      Just do it, if the nimby people move out, that’s even more housing. There are only positives here.

    16. Environmental_Spot_6 on

      I said this too someone in work the other day and there response was it would look awful. Who cares. Housing people is more important than

      You can’t actually because it’ll affect the rare moths in the area. I will object

    18. Jean_Rasczak on

      Need to stop politicians blocking properties first

      Didn’t Mary Lou use height as one of the reason she blocked a huge development in Dublin?

    19. Freebee5 on

      Are there even facilities in place to deal with the increased sewage treatment required before there’s talk of doubling the population there?

    20. NotAnotherOne2024 on

      This new development is contingent on the existing businesses in the estate relocated, given the severe lack of small-medium industrial units available or under construction in Dublin or commuter counties can’t see DCC progressing this in the immediate future.

      For shure,

      I was up looking in wicklow over the weekend looking over Dublins sky line and I gotta say it looked UGLY, you just see grey sprwaeld for miles

      Its time to start building some nice impressive buildings. Its highly needed for residential too

      Ive been to many cities and they all have features that stand out from a distance.

      Dublin just looks ugly from a view

    22. Guingaf on

      “Out of character for the area”
      “Negative affect on visual amenity”
      “Will set an unwanted precedent”

      What other almost seemingly meaningless phrases can be added to the NIMBY/Council planners bingo?

    23. SoloWingPixy88 on

      It’s like the journos had never been out that way. Wouldn’t be suitable

    24. NeoModernism on

      We’re in a housing crisis. We need to grind up everyone into a fine dust and put them into glass mega structures.

      Then import another 1 million and repeat.
