A group of Dublin 4 residents are contesting Dublin City Council's green light for a scaled down student accommodation scheme for Donnybrook.

A group of Dublin 4 residents are contesting Dublin City Council's green light for a scaled down student accommodation scheme for Donnybrook.

After local opposition to the scheme, the City Council in its grant of permission ordered the omission of two floors reducing the 10 storey height to an eight storey scheme. In the Eglinton Residents’ Association appeal, its chair, Robin Mandal has told the appeals board that the proposal"would constitute over-development of the site by virtue of its height, scale, bulk and massing at this prominent site".

The Clarks state that whilst the City Council planners have removed two floors,"we consider that the resultant eight storey building would still result in an unacceptably negative impact in this location".
