Dublin City Council has approved plans for a mixed-use development at the corner of South Circular Road and Dolphin’s Barn Street in Dublin 8. The project aims to transform the site by replacing derelict buildings with a part two-storey to part eight-storey scheme, designated for social and affordable housing.

Plans have been submitted for a new apartment/hostel development near Chancery Street in Dublin 7. Bordered by a Dublin City Council car park to the north and Chancery Street to the south, the site is set to be transformed into a residential and tourist facility.

Construction has commenced on an expansive residential project by Debussy Properties Limited, located at the intersection of Millicent Road and Prosperous Road in Clane, Co. Kildare. Approved by Kildare County Council in March 2024, the development will offer a diverse mix of housing options, complemented by high-quality amenities and a crèche facility.

Whitechurch Road, Rathfarnham. Ideally located in the heart of Rathfarnham, the proposed scheme will be a great addition to the already thriving local community.

Kildare County Council has granted planning permission with conditions for a new residential development on Dublin Road, Celbridge. The approved plans involve the demolition of the former Retronix semiconductor factory to pave the way for a 44-unit residential scheme.

The approved development will involve the demolition of all existing structures on the site, including three single-storey dwellings and their associated outbuildings, to make way for over 500 residential dwellings and several non-residential uses.

The final stage of the planning application process is not necessarily the swiftest or simplest. Different outcomes can unfold, depending on the local authority’s view of the proposed scheme and how it has been presented.

Following the pre-application process and possible public consultation period, the design team will gear up for the full planning submission.

The planning process for property developments in Ireland can be complex and time-consuming, involving multiple stakeholders and regulatory requirements. Engaging early with local authorities, through a pre-planning meeting, and potentially the local community through a public consultation, can be crucial to navigating this process successfully.

Property planning varies from country to country and depending on the efficiencies of the application process it can greatly affect the design, construction, and delivery of new developments in urban and suburban areas.

Following the publication of the 3rd Edition of BRE Guidelines in June 2022, it is now a requirement to include trees within a daylight and sunlight assessment. Depending on the metrics being assessed for Impact Assessments or Scheme Performance, evergreen and deciduous trees need to be included in different states within the analytical 3D model.

For 3DDB, the Navigation Square Office project was a combination of creative flair and ability, careful planning with a seasoning of thinking outside the box! The final product needed to grab the attention and interest of potential tenants right away and to provide a clear overview of the impressive floor area of this office scheme.
