Co-Living proposal at Rathmines Road Lower.

Manahan Planners lodged a planning application to Dublin City Council on behalf of Blondie Issuer DAC in December 2019 for a co-living shared accommodation development at Rathmines House, 143-149 Rathmines Road Upper, Rathmines,  Dublin 6.

In summary, the proposal provides 110 units spread over the 7-storeys including the top two floors.  Each floor has a communal living and kitchen area while the ground floor provides a large communal area consisting of co-working spaces, a lounge, gym, reception area and management offices. The scheme provides 160 bicycle spaces to the rear of the building, previously used for car parking for the office use.

Dublin City Council decided to grant permission and that Decision was appealed to An Bord Pleanala by a number of local residents. We are delighted that ABP granted permission without any limiting conditions. They considered the proposal to be consistent with Government policy on increasing the supply of housing, would not injure the amenities of the area and would be consistent with the proper planning of the area.
