The Council says this marks a major milestone in one of several projects progressing through the innovative Competitive Dialogue process, which enables the Council to deliver high\u2011quality housing in collaboration with key partners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The project builds on an earlier permitted scheme, with an updated design that makes better use of the site and delivers more homes for the community, while also aligning with the wider vision for Cherrywood as a sustainable and growing neighbourhood, the Council said. The development will deliver 205 modern homes, comprising 117 two\u2011bedroom, 75 one\u2011bedroom and 13 studio apartments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">An earlier planning permission for 146 homes was granted for the site in 2022. Through the Competitive Dialogue process, the design was refined to improve efficiency, increasing the number of homes delivered on the site to 205.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Frank Curran, Chief Executive of D\u00fan Laoghaire\u2011Rathdown County Council, said:\u201cThis project highlights the Council\u2019s commitment to delivering sustainable and affordable homes through strong partnership working.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;By refining the original scheme through the Competitive Dialogue process, we have been able to significantly increase the number of homes delivered on this site, while maintaining high design and environmental standards. Developments such as Grand Parade Place are central to meeting housing demand and supporting the creation of connected, liveable neighbourhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Want to see more of the stories you love from Dublin Live? <a aria-label=\"Making us your preferred source on GoogleLink opens in a new tab.\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=dublinlive.ie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\">Making us your preferred source on Google<\/a> means you\u2019ll get more of our exclusives, top stories and must-read content straight away.
