Planning permission has been granted for a large new apartment scheme on the site of Dublin’s largest synagogue, despite concern by local residents about the scale of the plans and the loss of an iconic building. Dublin City Council approved plans by developer, Granbrind Terenure Limited, for the construction of 60 apartments on a 0.54 site on Rathfarnham Road in Terenure that currently houses an Orthodox Jewish synagogue. However, the scale of the development has been reduced by the company from its original plans for 66 apartments after serious concerns were raised by council planners. The scheme will consist of three apartment blocks ranging from three to six storeys in height. The developer claimed its plans strike a balance between minimising the impact of the development on neighbouring residents and securing a reasonable scale and density in line with national planning policy.
