The plans come almost two years after An Bord Pleanála refused planning permission to Lioncor for a build-to-rent 364-unit scheme on former playing pitches at Terenure College.
The scheme that got the thumbs down from planners at An Bord Pleanála rose to seven storeys.
At the time, the Carmelite Order – which runs Terenure College and owns the substantial landbank at the establishment – had stated that the development would help secure the future viability of the college.
Now, 1 Cellbridge West Land Ltd, a Lioncor subsidiary, is proposing a scaled-down plan, omitting 80 units from the original scheme.
The new LRD for a site at Fortfield Road, Terenure, comes with a much lower density than the 2022 scheme, and is designed as a build-to-sell scheme rather than build-to-rent, in order to meet the needs within the Dublin 6 area facilitating downsizers who wish to remain in the locality, as well as providing new housing stock.
The published statutory planning notice for the application to be lodged with Dublin City Council says the new plans will comprise 265 apartments and 19 four-bed houses.
The apartments to be located in four apartment blocks comprise 117 one-bed apartments, 129 two-bed apartments, nine three-bed apartments and 10 studios, along with a creche.
The notice says that Block A will rise to four storeys and provide 61 units, Block B will rise to five storeys and provide 65 units, Block C will rise to five storeys and provide 74 units, and Block D will rise to six storeys and provide 64 units.
The scheme will also provide 165 car spaces and 633 cycle spaces.
In February 2023, An Bord Pleanála refused planning permission for the 364-unit scheme on a number of grounds.
The appeals board found that the proposed development would involve the construction of housing on lands partially in flood risk zone B, and the proposed location on residential development within the flood risk zone would be contrary to the Dublin City Development Plan.
In a third ground of refusal, the board found that the proposal exceeded the recommended density for outer suburbs in the Dublin City Development Plan.
