Say NO to Kimmage Carlisle High Rise Build To Let

PURE GREED – Say NO to the Proposed SHD Development at the Carlisle Gym at Kimmage Road West, Dublin 12

 

We need your help to donate to this GoFundMe to support our objections before April 19 deadline!!
The donations pay for professional planning experts that we have hired to complete formal planning, transport & light study assessments. This is a critical recommendation from experts who have worked on previous successful SHD campaigns. 

Dear fellow resident,

 

We all live in Dublin city and understand that construction of suitable and affordable housing is in dire need.

The critical point here is that it should be suitable, affordable and additive to the wider community!

 

On March 15th, LIONCOR developments have submitted fast track plans to build 208 apartments across 5 blocks, up to 6 stories in height in the undeveloped area beside the Ben Dunne Carlisle Gym as follows:

 

 

This is an extremely small area for such a high-density development, is not sustainable and does not take into account the needs or views of current local residents nor the future planned residents of the new development themselves as follows:

• Planning 208 apartments (104 x 1 bed & 104 x 2 bed) – not suitable for family living!

• Planning for only 100 car spaces for up to 624 residents! Not enough at all. Where do you think the extra cars will park?

• In its application it is mentioned the guiding price of a 2-bed apartment as €670,000 – this is not affordable!

• Lack of suitable green space and playground areas!

• Only one access point via the existing gym entrance onto Kimmage Road West. No plans to upgrade with traffic lights. Existing footpaths on this road are very narrow. This is already a very congested & dangerous entrance, beside Whitehall Road junction. There was an accident at this junction already this year, tragically resulting in the loss of life.

• At up to 6 floors the blocks are grossly too high and will tower over surrounding houses. The lack of privacy is entirely unacceptable. Their own study indicates that nearby gardens will be entirely overshadowed by 4pm in June!

 

I hope you can agree that this is an entirely unacceptable development proposal!

 

This development follows the Fast Track planning process, it goes straight to An Bord Pleanála, and the decision cannot be appealed! So we only get one chance to have our voices heard & the deadline for objections is April 19, 2022!!

 

Please donate as little or as much as you can afford. Any unused funds will be distributed back to Local Residents Associations and/or other relevant charities.

Thanking you in advance!
