A proposal to build over 300 apartments on Harold's Grange Road, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16, has been shot down by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. Developer Rod McGovern wanted to demolish seven houses and build 301 apartments and duplexes, a creche, neighbourhood shop and cafe in six blocks rising to seven storeys. The local authority has ruled that its layout and design, bulk, height, scale and density "would be visually incongruous at this location". The development would "fail to provide a high standard of amenity for future occupants" because of the proximity of balconies to major roads, it said.
