ABP-300194-17) on a site of c. 5.295 hectares. The site includes some 0.77 hectares forming part of the Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme. (For identification purposes, the Application site comprises the lands of 10 No. houses (now demolished under Permission Reg. Ref. D15A/0385) comprising: Foinavan, No. 8 Beech Park, Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 A5N5; Woodbrook, No. 7 Beech Park, Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 FA55; Lynwood, No. 6 Beech Park, Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 A2R7; Corrente, No. 5 Beech Park, Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 W7K7, Dun Baoi, No. 4 Beech Park, Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 TW75; Teely Lodge, Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 E0K1; The Galliard, Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 H9E2; Capard, Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 A2Y6; Greenhills Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 R9C0; and El Dorado, Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 T9C9; and Silver Slope, Bray Road, Dublin 18, D18 Y6H7 and the road area and associated open spaces at Beech Park, Bray Road, Cabinteely, Dublin 18/Loughlinstown County Dublin and its connection with the N11.) The site is principally bounded by Centenary Service Station to the north; the N11 to the east, Nos. 2-4 Sunnyhill Park, Loughlinstown to the south; and partly by the Cabinteely Stream and open space to the west. (The property identified as Wood Haven (Beech Park, Cabinteely, Dublin 18, D18 A6R9) located between Silver Slope and El Dorado, does not form part of this development.) The proposed development specifically relates to the permitted Apartment Blocks D, E and F located to the south east of the site. (No alteration to the balance of the development is sought by this Application.) The proposed development will consist of the reconfiguration of Apartment Blocks D, E and F, comprising; amendments to the internal layout of the 78 No. permitted apartments; the provision of (minor) associated alterations to the facade designs and treatments, circulation areas and lift cores, the parking layout at undercroft level of Blocks D, E and F and associated landscaped areas, including amendments to the permitted roof and solar panels; the provision of a Residents' Fitness Centre at the undercroft level of Block F (c.80 sq m); and all other associated site excavation, and infrastructural and site development works above and below ground. The proposed development comprises a reduction in the permitted floor area of Block D (c.33.5 sq m at Undercroft Car Park Level and c.53.5 sq m at each level from permitted Ground to permitted Fourth Floor levels (resulting in the removal of some 301 sq m). (Due to the reconfiguration of part of the permitted building, the proposed development will result in the provision of 63 No. two-bedroom apartments and 15 No. one-bedroom apartments. (66 No. two-bedroom apartments and 12 No. one-bed apartments are permitted under Application Reg. Ref. D15A/0385 (An Bord Pleanala Ref. ABP300194-17). However, the total number of residential units permitted on site will not change.) Since the granting of Permission in June 2018. Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has acquired some 0.83 hectares of the site to facilitate the new roadway known as P-Q in the Cherrywood SDZ Planning Scheme 2014, currently under construction, and additional lands within the parent permission outside the Planning Scheme area. The Application also seeks to decouple those lands and other Council-owned lands from the site area to facilitate potential future revised applications not reliant on the Local Authority's agreement to include such lands. this would result in two landholdings of c.0.98 and c.4.315 ha from the original c.5.295 hectares as shown on Tom Phillips + Associates Drawing No. 2019-BP-1897-002 that forms part of the Application.
