Imagine Dundrum welcomes record number of objections to plans for Dundrum Village 25/05/22
/in News /by RebekahAs announced in the national news today, An Bord Pleanála has received over 700 objections, including 8 from residents’ associations and 1 from a primary school, to the Hammerson–Allianz plans for an apartment scheme of over 880 units in Dundrum Village. The plans for this Strategic Housing Development envisage a series of 11 blocks with heights rising from 5 storeys on MainStreet to 16 storeys at the north end of the site.
Welcoming this news, Anne Colgan, Chair of local community group Imagine Dundrum, said, “this outstanding outcome demonstrates the strength of feeling among local people about the future of their home place, as did the huge turnout at the public meeting we hosted at the end of April. It is a tribute to the hard work of Imagine Dundrum members and many other local individuals and groups whose vision of the future Dundrum is radically different from that offered by the developers. We are grateful to everyone who made the effort to engage with the long and complex planning application and took the time to submit a personal observation.”

Plans for Dundrum Village: What’s next?
/in News /by RebekahSo the deadline for submissions to An Bord Pleanala (ABP) passed last Monday at 5.30 pm.
The options open to ABP are threefold: APPROVE planning permission, REFUSE planning permission, or Approve subject to conditions.
ABP is required to publish its DECISION by Monday July 25th, at the latest, but it may do so before that date.
Over the course of the weeks since the plans were published, Imagine Dundrum has been encouraged by the support we have received from our friends and neighbours in Dundrum and its environs. If the attendance at our public meeting and our drop-in clinics and the number of queries and supportive messages is anything to go by, ABP will have a considerable volume of quality submissions to consider before making its decision. Our own submission will be posted on our website www.imaginedundrum.ie shortly. Our core message is to recommend refusal to these plans.
We take this opportunity to thank everybody who has made a submission and all who have supported Imagine Dundrum in our efforts since 2016 to influence a positive outcome for Dundrum Village. We look forward to linking up with you again as the decision date approaches.

Hammerson-Allianz plans for Dundrum Village lodged: PUBLIC MEETING Wednesday April 27th,Taney Parish Centre,7.30pm
/in News /by RebekahThe final Hammerson-Allianz plans for Dundrum Village were lodged with An Bord Pleanála (ABP) for planning permission on Tuesday April 5th, and can be seen at https://dundrumvillageSHD.ie/.
The public has only until MONDAY MAY 9TH to make observations (submissions) to ABP – the only opportunity to have your say on this development.
IMAGINE DUNDRUM is strongly in favour of the redevelopment of Dundrum to revitalise our Village and provide much-needed homes. BUT WE ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED about these plans, which in no way match the vision of Dundrum’s future developed in consultation with the local community. Imagine Dundrum’s Proposals. With the help of a planning expert, we are considering the plans in detail and will make a more detailed statement very soon, but we have outlined below our initial concerns and questions.
WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT. Sign up to the Imagine Dundrum mailing list, contact your local Councillors and TDs, spread the word to friends and neighbours, make your own submission to An Bord Pleanála, and not least make a donation to support our campaign for the best possible future Dundrum.
DATES FOR YOUR DIARY:
All citizens in the wider local area, and those beyond it with ties to Dundrum, are encouraged to view the plans for themselves and make their voices heard by taking part in the planning process.
Hammerson-Allianz plans: Imagine Dundrum’s INITIAL STATEMENT OF CONCERNS
In addition, the plans were lodged only a very short time before the coming into force of the new Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-28 and in the absence of the long-awaited Local Area Plan for Dundrum, both of which contain strong protections for Dundrum Village itself.
In short, the developer’s vision of Main Street as a community and a built environment is radically different from the vision Imagine Dundrum has developed over the last five years in consultation with local people. Imagine Dundrum’s Proposals
Help us campaign for a future Dundrum which is recognisable and authentic, which is thriving and inclusive, and which is a place we all want to belong to. Watch this website, sign up to our mailing list, come to the public meeting on Wednesday April 27th, and make your submission TO An Bord Pleanála in good time!
The plans for Dundrum Village have gone live
