Walls Construction Ltd's application to demolish Rosemount House and build a €77m mixed-use development comprising 176 apartments was denied by the appeals board. The board cited non-compliance with the Dublin City Development Plan's requirement for large developments to allocate at least 5% for community and cultural purposes. Despite a recommendation to approve by the inspecting officer, concerns over cultural spaces led to the refusal, highlighting the importance of integrating community amenities into new urban developments.
The inspector found the cultural space requirement "unreasonable" and noted that the proposed development doesn't include any cultural facilities, arguing there is no deficit in the area.
The plans for a €77m nine-storey development featuring 176 apartments were rejected by the appeals board due to its failure to address community and arts space requirements.
