An Coimisiún Pleanála has granted approval for a major residential scheme in Rathnew, Co. Wicklow. The development, initially proposed for 352 units, has been revised to deliver 223 new homes, with part of the site omitted to protect a locally significant tree and to safeguard space for future active recreation.
3D Design Bureau supported the planning process by producing architectural CGIs, verified view montages, and a detailed daylight and sunlight assessment. These materials helped to clearly communicate the scale and design of the proposed scheme while also assessing its potential impact on the surrounding environment. The daylight and sunlight report demonstrated strong overall performance, ensuring future residents will benefit from good access to natural light.
The scheme will comprise a mix of houses, duplexes, and apartments, supported by a community centre, a sports hall, a neighbourhood centre, and a crèche. Residents will also benefit from extensive landscaped open spaces, including a public park of c.1.65 hectares, as well as new pedestrian and cycle links.
The development will also deliver new road infrastructure to link the scheme with Rathnew Village, improving access and connectivity in the area.

Zone of Theoretical Visibility: Reducing Risk and Cost in Property Development
Before a project even breaks ground, developers face a series of important steps that shape its viability. Beyond the challenges of the planning process, much of this work begins during the feasibility stage, where early decisions can save developers both time and money. One of the most effective tools at this stage is the Zone of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV).
