Gordon DeeganDún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has refused planning permission to US-headquartered Greystar for a 488-unit ‘build to rent’ scheme on grounds around Dalguise House in Monkstown, Co Dublin. The council refused planning permission to a Greystar subsidiary, GEDV Monkstown Owner Limited, after more than 70 objections were lodged against the scheme. A “global leader in rental housing”, Greystar claimed the scheme would be its “flagship development in Ireland” and would “set the standard” for build-to-rent (BTR) developments in the country. The council also refused permission due to the location of the site within the grounds of a protected structure, Dalguise House. The council concluded that the proposed development due to its height would have a “visually overbearing impact” on Dalguise House.
