Richard Boyd Barrett has filed an objection against a high rise development in Monkstown as it is "out of character" with the area's Victorian roots.
Planning permission is being sought from Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council for a nine-storey apartment block on the grounds of Dalguise House, Monkstown. The proposal, which would create 491 units, has been criticised by groups such as the Monkstown Road Residents Association.
In a joint submission, Richard Boyd Barrett TD and Councillor Melissa Halpin also raised concerns about the development. They argued that the sheer scale of the modern construction would dampen the "Victorian ambience" of the Monkstown area.
