Planning permission refused for McKillen Jr’s 20 storey tower in Lucan Tags:ireland 6 comments If anyone is interested to see what it would look like: [http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/ViewDocument?fileId=6440239](http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/ViewDocument?fileId=6440239) [http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/ViewDocument?fileId=6440236](http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/ViewDocument?fileId=6440236) [http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/ViewDocument?fileId=6440239](http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/ViewDocument?fileId=6440239) [http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/ViewDocument?fileId=6440242](http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/ViewDocument?fileId=6440242) [http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/ViewDocument?fileId=6440272](http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/ViewDocument?fileId=6440272) Assuming five flats per floor, this building would have accommodated more than one in ten of Ireland’s homeless families at a single stroke. That’s how easy the housing shortage would be to solve if the will was there. This is exactly the type of place where these developments need built: commutable outskirts. This country is wanked when it comes to fixing housing >Planning permission was also refused due to traffic concerns In fairness if it’s where I think they wanted to put it traffic would be an absolute nightmare, it’s already horrible at the best of times. Good, 20 storeys in Lucan is fuckin stupid development. Nimbys are the bane of society Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
