The first phase of the Bennetstown development in Dunboyne North, Co. Meath, will now comprise 315 homes, up from 267, following approval of a revised application by An Coimisiún Pleanála after a third-party appeal. The increase comes from three apartment blocks beside M3 Parkway station, where 124 apartments have been approved in place of the original 76.
3D Design Bureau produced a Daylight and Sunlight Assessment, architectural CGIs and verified view montages for the revised scheme. The verified views compared the new design with the earlier approved blocks and showed how it would sit alongside other phases at Bennettsown. Our assessment examined the effect on neighbouring properties, and both our assessment and the Commission’s inspector found the daylight and sunlight effects on its windows and garden to be negligible.
The three blocks will range from four to five storeys and contain 31 studios, 64 one-bedroom apartments and 29 two-bedroom apartments. Their footprints will be larger than those previously approved, but the buildings will be no taller.
An urban plaza will sit in front of the blocks. The plans also include landscaped public open space, 710 sq m of communal open space, footpaths and cycle links. There will be 49 car parking spaces, including four for car-sharing, as well as bicycle parking.
This is one of several Glenveagh projects supported by 3D Design Bureau. Our other work includes the 94-home Phase 2 and 92-home Phase 4 at Corballis East in Donabate, a separate 356-home scheme at Bennetstown, and the 775-home development in Balbriggan.

The proposed 37-bedroom boutique hotel on Baggot Street Lower has been voted 3DDB’s Best of Q3, securing 47% of the public vote. This quarter saw a tighter race for second place compared to previous editions, with Gortanore in Foxrock and Sea Gardens in Bray finishing joint second, each receiving 18% of the votes.
3D Design Bureau has now introduced Review-it, a new online tool for reviewing project visuals and sharing feedback. Developed entirely in-house, it brings comments, markups and discussions together in one place, supporting clearer collaboration between our team, clients and project consultants.
Work is under way on Phase 2 of Glenveagh’s wider Corballis East development in Donabate, Co. Dublin. The 94-home scheme received final permission from Fingal County Council in January 2025.
