AN BORD PLEANÁLA has granted planning permission for a new high-rise development of over 200 build-to-rent apartments on the banks of the Royal Canal in Dublin, against the recommendation of Dublin City Council.
The board has approved the application by development firm, Bindford, to construct 205 apartments across three blocks up to 12 storeys in height on the site of the Old Bakery at Cross Guns Bridge in Phibsborough under the fast-track planning process for strategic housing developments.

The Mid Shannon Wilderness greenway is a joint project between Longford Council and Bord Na Mona and its hoped that a park covering hundreds of hectares could eventually be developed across the bogland
Over €1 million euro has been allocated this week to fund a 15 kilometre section of the Mid Shannon Wilderness greenway in Longford.
A 6 kilometre section of the walk has already been finished in recent months around the Corlea centre in Kenagh.
The ultimate aim is to create a 80 kilometre link between the new and existing greenways around Lanesboro, Kenagh, Longford and Clondra.

The route will have five link points to the Royal Canal and it will also involve the repurposing of the old Bord Na Mona bridge across the Shannon at Kilnacarrow outside Lanesboro.
