South Dublin County Council has lodged a Part 10 planning application to An Coimisiún Pleanála for a major residential development across three sites within the Clonburris Strategic Development Zone (SDZ). The proposed scheme will deliver 1,252 new homes in a mix of houses, duplexes, triplexes, and apartments, alongside childcare, community, and retail facilities.

Dublin City Council has granted planning permission for a new purpose-built student accommodation complex at 96–99 Amiens Street, Dublin 1. The approved scheme will deliver 246 bedspaces in a modern, high-density building ranging from six to nine storeys over a lower ground floor.

The Land Development Agency (LDA) is set to submit a planning application for a new 285-unit residential scheme at The Gasworks on Dock Road, Limerick. The project will be developed on land acquired from Gas Networks Ireland (GNI) and aims to deliver much-needed cost rental and social housing in the city.

An Coimisiún Pleanála has approved plans, following an appeal, for the redevelopment and extension of existing buildings at 19–20 Leeson Street Lower, Dublin 2. The approved scheme, designed for the Institute of Education, will provide additional classrooms and ancillary facilities through a combination of refurbishment and new-build elements.

A planning application has been lodged to Dun-Laoghaire Rathdown County Council for a new residential development off Sandyford Road in Sandyford, Co. Dublin. The proposed scheme will feature 73 residential units, comprising a mix of houses and apartments.

An Coimisiún Pleanála has approved plans with revised conditions to extend the existing office building at Mespil Court, Dublin 4, along Mespil Road and the Grand Canal.

Ireland’s housing delivery continues to fall short of government targets, with demand surpassing supply. To meet this need, an estimated 50,000 new homes are required annually until 2040.

The Irish planning system has been in need of significant reform for some time. Since the announcement and recent enactment of the new Planning and Development Act 2024, the demand and urgency for new housing have only grown.

Aerial montages, also known as aerial CGIs, showcase a proposed property development from a bird’s-eye perspective. They combine carefully positioned aerial photography with a 3D representation of the development, clearly illustrating the site’s layout, location, and how the scheme integrates with its surrounding environment. This benefits both property planning and marketing strategies.
