what super form of transport is getting you to the city centre in 25 minutes as claimed in the plan?

METRO, car and bike

Really not crazy about some of the mockups. Looks too much like Dundrum Town Centre. Fingers crossed the build a decent pub though.

Even with the Metro upgrades between Charlemont and Sandyford I dont see how they'll get travel time down to 25 minutes. Its currently about 20 minutes between cherrywood and Sandyford.

Lets hope they are not fire death traps. Hope is all we have as there is no inspectorate to sign off.

are you always so negative ??

They will be far from it. They got the law changed so they could get rid of Hall ways and have the bedrooms directly off the living space. To do this they needed to add sprinkler systems and other fire supresents

I took the picture below walking into work the other day , its the view headed up towards the old roundabout.
I don't understand why they went to the bother and expenditure of making this lane only to block it off? Openstreetmap shows this lane as headed directly into the business estate when in actuality it goes to a dead end.
The fifth lane heading in the same direction is blocked off too (see pic below), that lane I cannot find any rationale for at all??

I imagine its part of the over all plan and they are going to change it eventually??

Open street map version, note the lane in yellow going left into the estate:

I see another website up for the Cherrywood development. This time for Cherrywood Village, with a Masterplan launch in 5 days

This is on top of the other sites on the go:

St Laurence’s College proposed apartments
This appears to be at the pre application consultation phase which means a formal application has yet to be made to An Bord Plenála.
When an application is made for an SHD (Strategic Housing Development) it skips the formal local planning process.

Also, there looks like a fast track plan is in place for apartments on St. Laurence's grounds

Theres already a creche in Tullyvale.

Does anyone know how the parks are coming along, are any of them open to the public yet?

I think they were required to have all of these complete prior to building work. From what I have seen they are still not open to the public. Parks off Lehaunstown Lane have 24hr Security warnings at all entrances

Thanks for that update, I'm really looking forward to having a jog around them all once completed. I work in the business park, or used too before we all moved to working from home so don't get to see much of what's going on except when driving through on route to the M50.

I live in Cherrywood and honestly have not noticed any park development.

They are off towards lehaunstown, not near the current development areas

This is going to be completely change the surrounding areas, probably in a good way. Its a part of the south side so disconnected from the rest of the city. Will be nice not living in sleepy hollow if the area is cool

According to the map I live straight across from where the park will be and as I said I've not noticed much from a park development point of view.

The Government has decided to submit a bid to Brussels to host the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting.

The co-operative project of 34 nations is currently based in Reading, Berkshire and will be required to re-locate following Brexit.

It is understood that 9 EU States will compete for this hi-tech centre, which houses researchers and super computers to analyse weather patterns for the greater European region.

If successful, the Centre will move to a purpose built facility in Cherrywood, hosting some 250 staff.

Competition will be stiff, obviously, but it would be a superb coup for Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown as a hub for high technology industry, research and education.

Be a great tenant for the harbour terminal building.

Larbre34 · 23-09-2020 12:54am

I wouldn't say its nearly big enough. Besides, I thought that a new lessee was in place there to take forward the enterprise/technology campus idea?

The original lease did. I understood a new consortium was in there now. Theres a new planning application for amendments to the food court in the original permission anyway.

I didn’t realise someone has picked it up again. I know the backer of the initial plan pulled out after being messed around repeatedly.

The new one looks like a sly way of getting apartments built in the harbour, which is what developers really want. Shame if that happens, it is a large space that could be out to good use for the community, rather than a developers bank account.

No, it doesn't. The new lease was granted in February, according to Council minutes. It is only a lease to repurpose the building and operate it commercially, the Council retains ownership of everything. All of the County Development Plan, Harbours Act of 2015 and other various byelaws and policies would all have to be changed to even contemplate residential development in the Harbour and to my mind, there is no appetite for that. In fact a whole bunch of people attached to the Clubs in the Harbour are going hard after a national centre for seaborne sports and leisure, having secured funding to examine the feasibility.

Supercell · 25-09-2020 7:25am

I'm totally confused, what harbour can there be in Cherrywood?
