Interesting, that would make them public roads so. Thanks for the free park and ride

It actually makes sense because I know the council will be doing the eco park (whatever that is).

Just home and will go through brochure now!

Just reading a link from one previous poster in the newspaper.

Also situated alongside the M50, Clay Farm is just a two-minute dash from the Green line Luas stop at Leopardstown Wood – and then a 35-minute ride to St Stephen’s Green. This connectivity is impressive

I don't remember ever seeing that luas stop on my travels,

The Ballyogan Road is in two districts South is Carrickmines North where Clay Farm is, is Sandyford, where did they get Leopardstown??(Builders privilege?)

Maybe im just a grump, I was born and reared on the road, when there was only green fields each side of the road, and take the shortcut through them from Club92, no M50 or luas to get across.:D

It would be rare to have the Council managing it at this stage. It may well be the plan that it will be 'taken-in-charge' by the Council, but that will depend on the Council being satisfied that it comes up to scratch.

Have a good chat with your solicitor to make sure you understand these plans and what conditions are required for it to be taken in charge.

Lots of Council managed estates would have pay-and-display parking if park-and-ride becomes a problem. You'd need a majority of residents to support this.

Pretty much every stop on the Luas line is off in terms of its naming.

The entrance to Clay Farm is here, Luas and shops are behind to the Left

Seen area dont see a problem. Ever been to darndale? Ballymun? Jesus such fear u people have. How did u manage to survive in life. Ballyogan is paradise to compare to a lot of council estates in ireland. Grow a pair!

Make no mistake about it this estate will have cars parked all over the footpaths and every nook and cranny people can find.

It won't be the residents, just the people parking the car there and getting the Luas into work!
Wouldn't be long before the residents kick up and get parking restrictions in place.

where did they get Leopardstown??(Builders privilege?)

It's always the same for new builds.
Leopardstown Heights, an estate down the road from it is in Sandyford just sounds better when you are selling it queue .
Over the years have had loads of post changed by An Post to Sandyford instead of Leopardstown.

We have some of that in the gallops people leaving cars, however cheap enough carpark on Murphystown road has helped that.

It's not a fear but I've worked hard for my money and wouldn't want to fork over a huge amount for a house in an area I'm not comfortable in. I grew up down the road from Darndale and went to school in Ballymun. Never bothered me but I also wouldn't pay €470k for a 3 bed in either of them!

Is there really no parking with the house not even for one car?

Where The Gallops/Glencairn and Leopardstown Valley/Glenbourne is Used to Be a big green area called McGraths gallops, where horse racing was held that was always Sandyford, but the builder gets in and it's Foxrock/leopardstown/Carrickmines anything but Sandyford.

You say An Post changes your address, yet the Delivery place down the road uses "Foxrock DSU, Ballyogan Road, FOXROCK", yet is in Carrickmines, Who stickers their post??:D
(It moved from the Brighton Road 20 odd years ago)

That's a shocking price in fairness..395 would even be pushing it.

Who will we see tomorrow at 2pm then?

What have you people made of this estate? Place was packed with cars. Layout of all houses seems to be very good, all rooms are a good size even in the 3 beds. I was told that all of the 3 bed houses are sold. Seems to be nicely landscaped and finished. It'll be a nice estate. Only thing annoying is no off street parking, or side access to houses as they are all a terrace style.

Houses were nice. I prefer living rooms that are at the back with doors onto back garden. More relaxing than people walking past your living room window. It did feel quite spacious. Although the downstairs seemed dark today - maybe just the cloudy day. The hall particularly..

I didn't think it was well landscaped. It is like a modern coronation street. Little in the way of greenery on the 3 bed terrace street. Not even the token flower bed in front of the window.

Scholarstown Wood seems a lot greener. Problem is there is no show house for the willow in Scholarstown so it's hard to compare the Fern with the Willow.........

Grazing17

And you're looking at windows both front and back. Scholarstown (some of the houses) has the water thing at the back so at least you have no houses at the back - on one line anyway......

Anyone done research on mobile phone masts? Any research on living beside one - presuming that is what it is....

buyer2017

I thought it was good that playground already built. And don't be worried about landscaping there is 14 acre park to be builded behind the development. Do anyone know are all the 4 beds sold?

Grazing17

There were a few houses in sales office without red dots, indicating they weren't booked yet...presume they were 4 beds unless they have 5beds too

okidoki987

Think it's only 3 & 4 beds there.

Yeah 3 and 4 beds. All houses were gone apart from 2 - but on left as you go into estate and there will be an apartment block built in front of it blocking your light.

There will be a big crowd there today nosing!

Hi, does anybody here know if Park Developments are listed as a qualifying contractor under Revenue's HTB scheme yet?
Savills have confirmed that they are approved but the latest list on Revenue's webpage doesn't have them included?

Hello guys,
I have recently heard about Clayfarm in D18. The show houses were brilliant, perfect location close to Luas (green line) etc.
please consider the side effect of 220KV electrical station right beside it. Eirgrid recommend 40 meters distance from a pylon to residential area but please note that it is not a single pylon only! it is an electrical station and they want to add more equipment to it (e.g. 250MVA Transformer). The research shows the EMF increase the risk of cancer up to 70% for children who live in 600 meters distance from high voltage electrical station (220KV). if you do not believe me please google it and see the results UK and other European countries. the distance of sale office to the pylon is 250 meters. please check.
It is a massive investment for your life.

Interesting first post.

Potential buyer trying to put others off? Or seller of another gaff in the area trying to drum up purchasers?

Okay I googled it. http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/cancer-controversies/mobile-phones-wifi-and-power-lines

Power lines and childhood leukaemia - the evidence isn't clear

The International Agency for Research on Cancer evaluated the evidence and concluded it was 'limited'. They rated low frequency magnetic fields as a 'possible' cause of childhood leukaemia - which means that we can't rule a risk out. This conclusion was supported by a separate World Health Organisation review of the evidence.

It is difficult to carry out research into exposure to magnetic fields and risk of childhood leukaemia, and there is no clear indication of what should be measured and when. So research that combines results from a number of different studies is useful to help get a clearer overview.

Two studies like this, published in 2000, found that the very small number of children who were exposed to the highest magnetic fields had a higher risk of leukaemia (around one and a half times to twice the risk) than children exposed to the lowest levels. But a more recent study of this kind found that the link had weakened and the risk in those exposed to the highest magnetic fields was no longer significantly raised compared to children exposed to the lowest levels.

A study from Denmark looking at more than 1,500 cases of childhood leukaemia found that risk was not higher in those living within 200 metres of an overhead power line compared to those living further away.

And a UK-wide study looking at exposure to electromagnetic fields from underground cables (rather than overhead power lines) recently found no link between closeness to underground cables and childhood cancer.

Overall, at the moment it isn't possible to say with certainty whether or not being exposed to the highest levels of magnetic fields from overhead power lines increases the chance of developing childhood leukaemia. There isn't a good suggestion for how magnetic fields could cause leukaemia, laboratory studies don't support a link and the results from individual studies are variable. This is likely to remain a difficult area to finally resolve.

However, even if the link seen in these studies is a real effect, the impact would be small as only around 1 to 4% of children have the highest levels of exposure. And the evidence shows that there is no noticeable increase in risk for the lower levels of magnetic fields that most people are exposed to.
