An Bord Pleanala have rejected plans for a 12 storey development that would have been constructed beside the grounds of Brennan’s Bakery in Walkinstown.
The 663 unit development was proposed as a ‘build to rent’ scheme made up of hundreds of apartments. Brennan’s Bakery fought the plan on the grounds that it would have a negative impact on their operations.
“The development has the potential to seriously injure the continued operation of our facility which has been operating at this location for over 45 years,” Gareth Doherty, managing director of Brennan’s Bakery, said of the proposal.
