Fresh plans for former ‘Danish Embassy’ site
A public meeting will be held this month about a planning application at Kilbride Hill House, better known as the Danish Embassy Residence.
Cllr Joe Behan is organising the meeting about the application to build 43 new dwellings on the site.
A new application was made on September 6, with a number of changes from last year’s application.
Cllr Behan said that representatives of the applicant will attend to answer any questions on the new application.
Submissions can be made to Wicklow County Council by October 10, with a cost of €20.
The meeting will take place on Monday, September 25 at 8 p.m. The previous permission was refused last October. There were previously 46 houses planned for the site.
There were 85 individual objections and a public petition signed by more than 300 local people.
Some of the reasons for refusal included destruction of trees, noise impact, and other concerns.
