Foxhunter Pub Closed by Revenue ?

I used to live out that direction many moons ago. The Foxhunter had a great Jazz Session at lunchtime on Sundays, a great buffet grub set up and a nice atmosphere, IMO.

The outside area is immense and on a good day was very pleasant to sit outside at the back. A kids playground in view of the adults was an added bonus. Then plenty of parking to the right of the site.

I do hope that whatever ends up there is a nice set up. We shall see.

Got takeaway from Wowburger last night. Pretty decent burgers!

We did the same last Saturday. Ordered on Friday night for Saturday evening but the order appeared to have been lost in the system as it wasn't ready when I got there.
I could see why because they were flat out with deliveries for Just Eat and also people collecting. Roaring trade.
Very happy with the food. Tasty and hot and I'd go there again rather than McDonalds for stuff like that.

Saw elsewhere that E&C, Wow Burger and also a Dollar & Co are going into the site? I guess it's big enough to accommodate all 3, particularly if Wow are just doing takeaway.

We got a large portion of the wings from E&C a few days before the burgers. They were decent too and also decent value for money. Not perfect though, the additional sauce had not enough real butter in it and its acidity was too high (not boiled off long enough). Apologies but I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to Buffalo wings

Avenue in Maynooth does the best wings. E&C are good but I didnt pure the sauce over them, just dipped them in.


Hudson room which does takeway from Palmerstown aren't bad either.

Interesting planning application for a 20 story building at the Foxhunter with an through road application to go through the Hermitage estate at the rear...
http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/Details?p=1&r=SD20A%2F0259&regref=SD20A%2F0259

From having a quick look at the proposed development, it breaches quite a number of regulations. Can't see the original proposal being allowed anyway.

What regs would be breached?

I'd say the idea is put in for 20 storey and settle on 10 which is nuts all the same. The making of an acces point into an existing estate will no doubt cause war to an established estate which probably already has its difficulties on exiting the estate...

I'd say they'd be happy to get everything else bar the 20 storey. 10 is still ridiculous given the rest of the buildings in the area. Just can't see it being allowed.

Overlooking nearby properties.
Out of proportion with the whole area
Another simple one is inadequate car parking available, given the number of apartments. A certain number of parking spots must be provided, depending on the zone the development is in.
Any planning engineer or architect worth their salt will be able to lodge a complaint that will shoot it down easily enough. They they'll revise and resubmit.
However, if nobody objects, then it'll be approved.

Look at it this way - its taller than Liberty Hall. Imagine Liberty Hall sitting in that car park

Can the planning be appealed with An Botd Planala?

Appealed to ABP and can go ahead.

Overlooking and "out of proportion" are not regulations, as such.

Parking wise, this would be a "intermediate urban location" on a high-density public transport route and hence not have parking requirements. This is why there's such a high bike parking provision.

This isn't Oakmounts first rodeo, basically.

Thanks for that. I wasn't too sure about some of them and thought there was a set ratio of parking spots for the site. I'd been basing it on the objection lodged against the development of Hill House in Lucan.

Over 130 objections and 4.5K euro gofundme collected for professional services that may be required to the extent of an appeal with an bord planala...

I think the problem is that it is being reported that the pub is closed, and that the owner is not a publican. It is not the pub owner, it is the owner.

The owner is a public figure, and the owner can only be paid for the service.
The pub owner is an individual.
If the owner does not have the necessary service, then they are not a pub owner.

What ?

Anyone know what the latest on this place is? I drove past today and see it now has a new sign on the front back with the original name The Foxhunter.

Doesn't seem to have been much progress made in the last few months but that's based on me driving by and only having a quick glimpse from time to time
