DCC gives go-ahead for multi-million euro docklands development

The first of the fast-track developments planned for Dublin’s docklands has been given the go ahead by the city council.

The planning permission for the site on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay will involve 58 apartments and 9,000 sq.m of office space.

As long as planning applications meet criteria set out in the SDZ plan, they can be expected to be granted permission and it cuts the length of the planning process from three years to 18 months.

Other planned redevelopments include the Boland Mills site for which the council has requested some changes.

The city council is planning two new bridges in the docklands and a programme of investment in streets and public spaces.
