An Bord Pleanala

The government initiative that allows planning applications for large residential projects to be fast-tracked by An Bord Pleanála looks set to be extended for another two years.

Property giant Ballymore Group has confirmed to The Planner that it has submitted a fast-track planning application this week to An Bord Pleanála for a development of more than 700 build-to-rent flats in a complex that would form the capital’s tallest building.

Proposals to increase the number of dwellings on a major new residential development in the centre of Cork have been lodged with An Bord Pleanála under the fast-track planning regime for major residential projects.

An Bord Pleanála has given the go-ahead to developer Platinum Land Ltd for a residential development of around 450 build-to-rent flats on the former Chivers site at Coolock in the capital.
