The planning permission was sought by Watfore Ltd – a development and property management subsidiary of Dairygold Co-op – to demolish the existing site before building four apartment blocks ranging between six and 10 storeys in height. The development is set to be built in the Parkmore Industrial Estate on the Long Mile Road in Walkinstown. They had raised concerns that locating residential properties in an industrial estate would “lead to conflicts” between the homeowners aspirations and the “day-to-day realities of operations within a live industrial estate” among other concerns. Following the initial rejection of planning permission by the council, an appeal was taken to An Coimisiún Pleanála.
