Plans for the development of nearly 200 apartments in Phibsborough have been lodged with Dublin City Council despite previous protests.
If approved, the Large-Scale Residential Development at Cross Guns Bridge will see the demolition of all existing buildings on site and the construction of a new residential development. It would provide 196 apartments across three blocks ranging in height from 3 to 12 storeys.
Similar plans have received resoundingly objections from locals in the past. Concerned locals previously strongly opposed any plans approved by the Council for what was dubbed as the "Royal Canal Towers". Complaints included the excessive height, its negative impact on wildlife and an out of character building overall in the area.
