Sandyford Retirement Village On Way
A large scale building project for a retirement village proposed for the foot of the Dublin mountains near Sandyford may be closer to development after a local authority meeting.
Councillors in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council are to consider a motion to amend their development plan specifically to allow for a nursing home on lands in a scenic location at Ticknock near Sandyford.
The Grange Retirement Village, on 16 acres of land zoned for agricultural development on the mountain side of the M50, would include residential accommodation, a nursing home, a stroke rehabilitation clinic and community and recreational facilities.
When the development, proposed by the landowner Rod McGovern, was initially discussed at council, on November 19th, 2009, it was rejected outright following a recommendation by the County Manager, Owen Keegan.
But, the Irish Times has reported that Councillor Tom Joyce (FG) and Councillor Tom Murphy (FF) later proposed a specific local objective for the site to allow for the development and councillors from both parties voted for it.
The objective was ratified as part of the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2010-2016 in March 2010.
It was believed planning permission for the retirement village could then be applied for.
