Synagogue gets go-ahead in Terenure

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / October 7 2004: Synagogue gets go-ahead in Terenure

The Terenure Hebrew Congregation has got the green light for a 292-seat synagogue and around 30 apartments on the Rathfarnham Road in Dublin 6W. However, An Bord Pleanála has ruled that the congregation must reduce the three apartment blocks from four storeys to three after nearby residents expressed concerns about overlooking. Dublin City Council had previously granted permission for the new synagogue but had ruled that the number of apartments be reduced to 26. In a first party appeal to An Bord Pleanála, the Trustees of Terenure Hebrew Congregation said that such a reduction of apartments would constitute an inefficient use of a town centre site close to Terenure village, which is well-serviced by public transport and recreational parkland.
