Latvians go for embassy on Wellington Road

THE LATVIAN Embassy is looking for permission from Dublin City Council for a change of use of numbers 10 and 12 Wellington Road, Dublin 4 from residential to embassy use.

It also wants to interlink the houses, which are three-storey protected structures, and to interlink numbers 10 and 12 Raglan Lane, two-storey houses to the rear as a single residential unit.

The embassy is looking for new tea stations within numbers 10 and 12 Wellington Road as well as several new toilets in both houses and a new kitchen to the rear of number 10.

Works to 10 and 12 Raglan Lane include the removal of a recently installed timber staircase and a new kitchen in number 10.

404 apartments planned for Adamstown

MAPLEWOOD DEVELOPMENTS has applied to South Dublin County Council to build 404 apartments in eight four to seven-storey blocks on a 4.2-hectare site in Finnstown and Adamstown in Lucan.

This will be part of phase two of Adamstown Special Development Zone and the bulk of the units - 282 - will be two-bed apartments with the rest a mix of one-beds, three-beds and duplex units.

The proposal for car-parking is 606 spaces, with 414 of those underground.
