If I'm understanding correctly. The developer has tried last minute changes to cheapen the build. Canceling a planned green roof and trying to just cement block it instead? And it was refused? Forcing them to build as proposed originally?
If so that's good. Can't stand sneaky builds and changes to plans..
Are we in year 9 of this build? :D

The whole build has been sneeky. If memory serves there was a delay as they wanted an extra floor on the apartments, the request went in halfway through the build.... Now totally open to correction as I'm not an engineer but would the foundations not have to be a different depth to hold an extra floor?... Obviously they already were as they got their extra floor.

Was the supermarket not due to open last year? Then it went to June, then November now February it's a total joke.

It maybe 9 year from planning but the old supermarket was open in 2016.

The old spar? Wasn't that still there past summer 2017?

Very easily. The years are rolling into one at this stage I just know it was open in 2016 as I had to buy baby formula (and then bring it back as the tin was rusted), funny what sticks in your mind. So not 9 yrs in a rubble mess.

The build is still a joke with how long it is taking.

I was exaggerating with the 9 years It just feels like it.. Sistine chapel would have been built quicker

yes it definitely feels like it!

Passed it yesterday, coming on nicely. Main focus is on the Aldi section which looks to be almost ready for internal works. Might see it open before year end as once they can get inside LIDL / ALDI finish the work in no time.

Press release says February opening.... But then they also said November and June before that so won't be holding my breath.

The montessori /after school "kidz klub" has also pulled out not really surprising as they should be in their new premises at this stage.

The old Londis/Eurospar/Centra was demolished in early 2018.

You forgot supervalu

Hardware/Flower shop opened in a new double unit on Thursday, around from Centra. Nice shop.

Parts of the actual centre are beginning to look good...

I think the dry cleaners has moved in there too, sharing the space.

Passed by today, Dry Cleaners operating from usual premises. Hardware looked busy.

The view from the penthouse really overlooks the houses. I appreciate in any housing estate you have a certain amount of privacy issues but generally no one parks themselves in their bedroom window for an afternoon.

Sitting out on that balcony is a direct view into the bedrooms and there's not much you can do, as the balcony is there to be enjoyed.

The new hardware/garden place is selling some craft-y stuff made by the dry cleaners daughter/wife/mistress (sounds like the start to a good murder mystery)

:D

I heard Kennedys coffee shop is going in. Could be a rumour but would be nice if it were to go in - nice coffee shop.

Great if true. Good shops with nice food.

Wouldn't mind if it was "Perfect Day" like in Kilbarrack Centre - also good operators.

Hopefully not just yet another Starbucks/Costa/Insomnia....

Yup, I think I picked it up wrong. The new hardware/garden place is selling some craft-y stuff made by the dry cleaners daughter/wife/mistress (sounds like the start to a good murder mystery) Looks like nice stuff! He’s selling some Celtic Candles stuff too, another local supplier ����[/QUOTE

The bloke that runs the hardware is sound and he's had to move before because of high rent I think so hopefully when the whole place is finished he'll do well.

does somebody who lives in shopping centre expect quiet?

Well it would be reasonably quiet.

It was never a "hang out" spot. Even out the back where the storage spaces were, I never heard of any trouble.

The only main noise was the deliveries and rubbish collection.

The build is close to 2 yrs behind schedule so I'd say the residents are probably cheesed off at this stage.

Hearing that the last of these original housing units from the old shopping centre won’t be re-roofed & finished in the same way as the others, something to do with the landlord/owner holding out or denying the works for some reason.

That house is definitely cutting off it's nose to spite it's face!

It’d be great if the finishing included replacing the old tarmac with the new stone, particularly up as far as the concrete all around the church but from the looks of it they’re only replacing a small part of it. Fingers crossed there’s some plan to complete the groundworks properly! 🤞🏼

Tarmac in front of church replaced, and a new cobble lock path layed between car park and church door. I'd imagine they will lay new tarmac at side of church between it and the new development when finished the "Aldi" store.

Also looks like another part of the new car park will open soon.

i think the huge building beside it is cutting off its light

There was always a building there.

Granted the roof of the squash centre only came up as far as the second level (bedroom) windows, but it would have blocked the first level light.

BowWow wrote: »

There was also another "house" between the squash court and what's now the end property.

I never noticed!

There were 7 apartments above shops. Now down to 4.

Yes, they took down 2 from the "Centra" end and 1 from the "Aldi" end.

Not really. That building is on the north side of the house so no real light loss.

It just looks ridiculous. Probably a childish spat with the landlord as suggested.
