PLANNING PERMISSION HAS been granted for 235 student bed spaces and 37 build-to-rent apartments in the Liberties despite numerous concerns being raised by local residents and politicians.
It currently provides over 2,200 student beds in Dublin including 700 at its New Mill and Blackpitts facility, which will be located alongside the new development. GSA has defended the high rents in the past, saying that council building regulations and high land costs constrained it from offering cheaper accommodation.Permission was granted for GSA’s newest student accommodation last week by An Bord Pleanála.
The student units will be spread over four connected blocks ranging from three to seven storeys in height, while the apartments will be contained in a separate block. PBP TD Bríd Smith, Councillor Tina McVeigh, Labour councillor Rebecca Moynihan and Sinn Féin councillor Críona Ní Dhálaigh all submitted objections to the development.
There have been a number of protests in recent months by Liberties residents over planning decisions in the area.
An Bord Pleanala grants permission on another eye sore without any understanding or consideration of future implications. Plans only get changed if it’s beside LeoVaradkar house.
