Planning Updates – July 2019

Planning updates – SAMRA acting on your behalf!

In line with our aim to protect and improve the environs of Sandymount Strand, Sandymount Village and Dublin Bay, we’ve summarised below two recent projects where SAMRA has been successfully active on behalf of our membership and residents.

Planning permission refused for the demolition of two mid-Victorian buildings on Sandymount Avenue

In our submission objecting to the development (one of over 40), SAMRA noted that the houses, which date from the 1850s, are of historic, architectural, cultural and artistic merit, and make a significant positive contribution to the character and identity of streetscape. The demolition of these houses would, we said, be a great loss to the architectural heritage of the area.
