After a while you don't notice them and only notice when they're not flying or heading into the airport from a different direction. I can understand the noise isn't for all but the new runway I believe is going to change the direction the planes come in from. Also there's 2 creches already under the flight path across the road so if that's the reason there's isn't a third, its a strange one.

Petrel houses don’t have an island in the kitchen or double back doors. Intrigued on what others thoughts are? If anyone that has moved into dun si is active on the thread could you give an idea how annoying the planes are now that working from home is a thing. Would be keen to spend time in the garden and always have windows open so wondering if it would be too annoying with the flights!

From the paths projections available in the document, I feel this will help offload a bit the noise level in Dun Si. It seems that Malahide will have an increase in the noise level. Also, keep in mind that with the new runway it will create new flights opportunities and increased capacity for take-offs and landings. Therefore, expect the noise levels to remain the same over the years.

They must think there is enough demand from non FTB's, but the 4 beds from Dun Si are still available at 550k. On the show houses as seen from the end of The Park road, the units look quite small. The 3 units in total are similar in size to the 2 Dun Si units alongside, and the back garden wall looks very close. No plans to go on so hard to tell.

Skylark is top of our list. Had a few chats with the EA about this but they're very light on detail. She had no floor or site plans. Asked about any plans for some to go to social housing and I didn't get a clear answer but believe apartments are due in one of the phases. In terms of pricing I was told today that they start at 485k for a mid terrace 3 bed and the next is 495k for end of terrace. Rest of houses go over 500k making it non applicable for HTB. If it helps anyone else, the showhouse is due to be ready this month. Is it worth going for a drive to the estate at the weekend for a look around or is it all closed off? Any idea at all when these would actually be move in ready, are we talking next year at this stage? Would anyone have any heads up or insider knowledge of any other devs coming up in the next 12-18 months that could be worth waiting for?

Dunston wrote: » The developer is undecided about whether to have all of the 3 bed stock eligible for HTB or only a portion of it. They really should be capping the 3 beds at 500k. Would be difficult to shift without HTB as can be seen with the remaining 4 beds in Dun Sí.
