No one would pretend Goatstown, 9km south of Dublin city centre, is a rural idyll hidden in some bucolic time warp.
âSerious concernsâ
The board is currently assessing a plan for 299 apartments and a 22-bedroom hotel at the Goat Grill pub in Goatstown. The proposal, by publican Charlie Chawke, has been the subject of large numbers of objections, with the council saying it has âserious concernsâ over the height and massing of the scheme.
In recent days the board approved a 482-apartment development at Golf Lane in Carrickmines which included a 22-storey tower, again despite a recommendation from council planners that permission be refused. The council had previously refused permission for 109 apartments on one-third of the site on the grounds this density would be âexcessive for this outer suburban siteâ.
