Plans Submitted For Over 600 Homes In St Anne's Park

A new planning application has been submitted for a housing development in St Anne's Park, Dublin.

These latest plans propose to build 647 apartments in blocks of five-nine stories in height - twice the size of a previous 2015 application for the site.

Local Labour Senator Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, who has spearheaded the ongoing campaign to protect the future of the park, has slammed the developer over the new plans.


"What we're seeing here is just the latest attempt to destroy these lands under the guise of a strategic housing process," Ó Ríordáin commented.

"Once again this shows the flawed nature of the Strategic Housing Development Act, which prioritises developer greed over the needs of communities.

"Concerned residents can be assured that our campaign to retain the environmental integrity of St. Anne's Park continues and we will once again oppose this proposed development.

"Residents have until the 20 November to lodge an objection, and I will continue to campaign on their behalf."
