Rathcoole site with full planning for six industrial units seeks €6.55m

Irish Times11-06-2025
Joint agents Coonan Property and Savills are guiding a price of €6.55 million for a 10.92-acre site with full planning permission for the development of six industrial units in Rathcoole, Co Dublin.
Located on Tay Lane, and situated next to the well-established
Greenogue Logistics Park
and 2.3km from the N7/Rathcoole junction, the subject site comes with approval (Planning reference SD23A/0286) for the construction of 15,866sq m (170,776sq ft) of industrial space distributed across units ranging in size from 1,460sq m (15,713sq ft) to 3,851sq m (41,452sq ft).
Existing occupiers in the adjacent Greenogue Logistics Park include the Irish-listed healthcare group Uniphar, logistics specialist Fastway Couriers,
Ikea's first Irish customer distribution centre
, which is operated by Wincanton, and Aldar Tissues' newly developed manufacturing facility. Developed by Sandymark Investments, a sister company of Con McCarthy's Jordanstown Properties, Greenogue Logistics Park currently comprises more than 278,709sq m (3 million sq ft) of industrial and logistics space.
Commenting on the sale of the Tay Lane development site, Will Coonan of Coonan Property and Jarlath Lynn of Savills say: 'This strategically positioned landholding, which benefits from full planning permission and easy access to the M7 motorway, offers an opportunity for prospective purchasers to undertake development in a location with a well-established track record of commercial growth. We expect to see considerable interest from both developers and owner-occupiers.'

An Coimisiún Pleanála reopens appeal over Phoenix Park apartments plan

An Coimisiún Pleanála (ACP) has reopened an appeal over a 106-home development next to the Phoenix Park after the High Court quashed its decision to grant planning permission for the complex. The proposed development, which has been sought by Linders of Smithfield Limited, is made up of 96 apartments in two blocks and 10 duplex apartments in a third block, at Quadrant House on Chapelizod Road. The large residential development (LRD) application was made in July 2023, seeking permission to level the Chapelizod Road site and to construct three residential blocks ranging from three to five storeys. The development, which was proposed to have a gross floor area of 9,786.5sq m, was to include a residents' gym, a cafe, a communal work space and a basement car park with 84 parking spaces. The development was not set to include any childcare facilities. Despite a series of objections from local residents, the Chapelizod Residents Association and Friends of the Phoenix Park, Dublin City Council granted permission. READ MORE Four separate appeals were lodged, with Chapelizod Tidy Towns' appeal being brought to ACP, which noted that 'particular concerns [were] raised about childcare provision and lack thereof', but planning permission for the development was affirmed after ACP found it to be in line with the Dublin City Development Plan. The case against ACP was brought before the High Court in early 2024 by Friends of the Phoenix Park, a group of local parents that noted their concerns that the development will further overload childcare provision in the area. The group is made up of parents whose children attended a childcare centre which was located on the site of the proposed development until it closed in June 2023. The childcare centre, which was described as 'integral' in an affidavit submitted by the group, was said to provide a significant number of care spaces. The national planning body conceded the case in January 2025. Its representatives admitted it had 'failed to give adequate reasons for its conclusion that the development was in compliance with the density provisions of the Development Plan with specific reference to the issue of public transport capacity'. Acting on behalf of ACP, Byrne Wallace Shields LLP suggested the court quash the order granting the planning application and issue an order that it pay the costs of the applicant, Friends of the Phoenix Park, and the costs of the court. Mr Justice Richard Humphreys quashed the decision in March, sending the case back to ACP. The planning commission is set to make a decision on the matter by December 4th.

Glenveagh Homes to seek big changes to 650-home Dublin development

Glenveagh Homes is weighing big changes to a 650-home housing development including omitting a number of housing units from the site, and a plan for a 379-unit, mixed-use development. The developer has sought the opinion of Fingal County Council for a number of amendments to an existing Strategic Housing Development near Swords as part of the Large-scale Residential Developments (LRD) process. The Dublin-listed home builder ran a number of 'primary amendments' to the Mooretown Strategic Housing Development (SHD), which received planning permission in 2023, and the Mooretown Phase 2A development past the local authority. Permission was originally granted to Gerry Gannon 's property development company for 650 homes by An Coimisiún Pleanála. It provides 10-year permission for the site near Swords in Co. Dublin, for the construction of 265 houses with the remainder being apartments and duplexes at a density of 45 units per hectare. READ MORE The 18.4 hectare site is also set to be used for 187 apartments, six triplex units and 192 duplex units, spread across 113 duplex 'house' units and 79 duplex 'apartment' units. On site a childcare facility, as well as five retail units and a cafe or restaurant will also be built. The planning permission also provides for 991 car-parking spaces and 1,141 bicycle spaces. In a trading update in January, Glenveagh Properties noted that 'the exit of the last remaining borrowers from Nama, and land bank sales by non-traditional landholders' allowed it to 'opportunistically acquire' around 9,000 units across 14 sites. The total cost of the acquisitions was €285 million. A number of these properties were from Mr Gannon and Glenveagh took over payment to contractors working on the Gannon Homes sites where construction was under way, including the Mooretown development, The Business Post reported. Glenveagh consulted the local authority on the omission of 196 residential units from the SHD, including 43 one-bed units, 120 two-bed units and 33 three-bed units, across eight houses and 188 apartments, and alterations to the internal road network, car parking, open space and landscaping. It is further gauging the viability of making amendments to the Mooretown Phase 2 development, including the omission of three four-bed houses and changes to the internal road and parking network. As part of the consultation process, it sought the council's input on a separate plan for a 379-unit, mixed-use development, according to a list of decisions published by Fingal County Council this week. Under the old Strategic Housing Development process, developers could request planning permission directly from An Coimisiún Pleanála. With the process lapsing in 2022, developers must consult the local authority before making an application under the LRD process with the council's opinion being valid for six months. The local council issuing the LRD Opinion is the final stage of the process before making a formal planning application under the scheme.
