Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / September 25 2004: O'Brien-led Donnybrook property plan denied permission

The consortium headed by the multi-millionaire businessman Mr Denis O'Brien has been refused planning permission for a 26-storey apartment tower in Donnybrook village in Dublin. The glazed cylindrical tower, designed by deBlacam and Meagher Architects, would have housed 36 two-bedroomed apartments and one three-bedroomed two-storey penthouse, with commercial and office space spread over the first three floors. The development was to be located between Donnybrook Garda station and the local fire station, on the former BizQuip site that was acquired by the consortium five years ago. Dublin City Council yesterday refused permission for the building, saying it is too high and because of the lack of amenity spaces for potential residents.
