Dublin City Council has given the green light to contentious plans for 688 apartments on former RTÉ campus lands despite opposition to the scheme from Ailesbury Rd residents and the Austrian embassy in Dublin 4.
The Council permission provides for the construction of a 192 bedroom hotel with the apartments comprising 416 built to rent apartments and 272 build to sell units.
The planner's report also concluded that the proposal"has the potential to deliver a high quality residential development at a serviced site that is located at a central location on a public transport corridor". The indicative costs of the apartments range from €683,100 for a three bed to the cheapest at €495,001 for a one bed apartment.
Now, due to the level of local opposition against the new scheme, the city Council decision is likely to go before An Bord Pleanála once more on third party appeal. Dr Gavin contended that"if permitted in its present form, the proposed development of the former RTÉ Montrose site will seriously harm the visual amenities of the neighbouring conservation area".
