There was âgrowing concernâ that the SDZ area was being held back by the planning scheme adopted seven years ago, Hines said. âIn a competitive and constantly evolving construction sector, Cherrywood risks becoming a location where investment is less attractive, which is contrary to the purpose of an SDZ.â
Developer Cairn, also represented by John Spain, said in a 104-page submission that the section of the Stillorgan Road corridor from Donnybrook to Stillorgan town centre contains a number of large sites with âsubstantialâ redevelopment potential.
Sites at key intersections were appropriate for tall landmark buildings, it said. âThere are also several large sites along the corridor which have capacity for intensification and increased height which, with appropriate design, would not injure the residential amenity of adjoining sites.â

The duo have been debating the merits of the scheme – currently before An Bord Pleanála – including in articles in The Irish Times.
