Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / September 30 2003: Plan to turn Liffey Valley into town centre rejected

The plan by South Dublin County Council's to turn the Liffey Valley shopping centre at Quarryvale into a "town centre" for Lucan-Clondalkin has suffered a serious setback from An Bord Pleanála. Ruling on appeals over plans by Treasury Holdings Ltd to develop a rival site at Balgaddy - designated as the future town centre since 1972 - the board said it considered this site as "generally suitable for development of the type proposed". The county council had refused planning permission for Treasury's scheme, which included a major shopping centre as well as a hotel, multiplex cinema, gym, bar-restaurant, car-parking and more than 1,000 apartments on the site.
