500 new homes for Skerries bid

By Donncha MacRaghnaill
AN APPLICATION to build over 500 dwellings on the edge of Skerries has been lodged with county planners which, if given the go-ahead, would increase the local population by an expected 1,800.

Winsac Ltd has applied to build a residential development and local services centre in Barnageera, on lands to the west of the Kelly's Bay development.

The lands are bounded by Kelly’s Lane to the east and the Dublin-Belfast railway line to the south.

The proposed development consists of some 544 units, principally consisting of two bedroom apartments.

Architects drawings accompanying the application show the apartments laid out in 14 three and four storey blocks.

An urban centre over two and three stories comprises of a civic plaza, seven offices, retail units, restaurant, off licence, community centre, gym and medical centre while there are also plans to build a playing pitch.

The large development also includes a crèche, a reserved primary school site and a children's playground.

Parking on the estate would be facilitated by some 960 car parking spaces, of which 570 would be underground.


The area is zoned for residential and is in line with the Barnageera Local Area Plan.

You say you live in Kellys Bay, might I suggest you take a walk up to the site and ask the developers.

RESIDENTS along the Skerries-Balbriggan road (the R127) have demanded action from the council in the wake of a planning proposal which would add further traffic from the addition of over 500 new homes.

Winsac Ltd have applied for permission for a major residential development on lands at Barnageera, which will use the coastal road as its main access point.

Residents in the area are horrified by the prospect of yet more traffic on what they have labelled ‘a highly dangerous and unsuitable road’ and spoke of the long term struggle they have had with the council.

Neighbours Rena Bergin and Violet Clinton, who have both lived on the road for over 30 years, contacted the Fingal Independent after Winsac submitted an amended planning application last month.

The residents spoke of the high volume of traffic passing by their homes, the unsuitability of its surface and width for further traffic and the many accidents they had witnessed there over the years.

‘I have been writing to the council for many years to try and get them to do something about the road,’ Mrs Bergin said.

Mrs Clinton mentioned the amount of accidents on the stretch in recent years. ‘Three cars have gone over the bank recently and it’s a wonder that more people haven’t been killed.’

The residents are amongst a number of objectors to the proposed development, which would see the construction of a distributor road, linking with the main Skerries-Balbriggan route.

While they are opposed to the development going ahead, they are prepared to accept that progress is inevitable, but would like to see road improvements implemented before construction begins and aesthetic changes in the design of the buildings made, should permission be granted.

‘If they are going to go ahead with the development, then the road has to be done first,’ Mrs Bergin continued. ‘If this development gets the go ahead, then the amount of traffic will increase and the road cannot take it.’

In response, a council spokesperson said that ‘not a lot of work had been done’ on the road in question recently as a result of work being carried out by Water Services, laying pipes for the new Wastewater Treatment plant.

‘Whenever the contractor is finished and a snag list is complete, then Transportation will resurface the road, hopefully around the autumn,’ the spokesperson said, adding that the Skerries Traffic Management review group are looking into road problems.
