Description
The property consists of a long, rectangular site c. 5.73 acres with access from Porterstown Road. It includes a protected, two-storey over semi-basement building known as “The Old Schoolhouse”
Zoned for residential development under the new Fingal County Development Plan 2023-2029 and with services adjacent, the site is eminently suitable for development.
Planning permission was sought in 2021 for 198 no. Build to Rent apartments, childcare facilities and associated site works. Case reference: TA06F.309622 Old Schoolhouse Site (former Clonsilla School, a protected structure), Porterstown Road, Kellystown, Clonsilla, Dublin 15. (www.clonsillashd.ie) through the SHD process but it was refused.
The ABP decision is available in our downloads section. Interested parties should, of course, get planning consultant advice but it appears that the grounds for refusal could be dealt with relatively easily.
Permission has been granted to Aldi and Anne O’Neill on an adjoining site for a large, mixed-use development comprising supermarket, 3 retail units and 72 residential units (Ref. No. FW22A/0152). Two vehicular access points to the subject (Old Schoolhouse) site are proposed in this scheme.
