Conor-owned firm submits new plans for apartments

A CONOR Mcgregor firm is proposing more than a one third reduction to a rejected 113-unit apartment scheme.

Emrajare Ltd hope the move will secure the green light for a residentia­l scheme in at the Drimnagh site in Mcgregor’s native D12.

The alternativ­e 72 -apartment, six-storey block scheme proposal put forward by the firm is a 36% decrease on the original eight-storey scheme.

That proposal was last month subject to a comprehens­ive rejection by Dublin City Council.

It rejected the proposed developmen­t “due to its design and excessive scale and density would constitute over developmen­t of the restricted site and create an overly dominant and incongruou­s developmen­t”.

The new proposal lodged by consultant­s, Tom Phillips + Associates argues that the grounds for refusal of the scheme are “entirely unfounded”.

The alternativ­e scheme by C+W O’brien Architects rises from two to six storeys and comprises 72 apartments.

The mixed use scheme involves the demolition of the Marble Arch pub that Mr Mcgregor purchased for a reported €1.5million to €2million three years ago.

The schoolboy admitted to being “excited” and “nervous” but he had the fans joining in.
