What was approved
An Coimisiún Pleanála granted permission with revised conditions for Milltown Park on 28 August 2026. The Sandford Road scheme provides 556 apartments and six courtyard houses, with the tallest blocks reaching eight storeys.
The plan retains and reuses Tabor House and the chapel, includes cultural and community space, and adds a café/restaurant and childcare facility. O’Mahony Pike Architects prepared the current 562-home design for Sandford Living Limited.
