Hi there,
I'm close to buying a second hand place off Quarry road in Cabra, which I consider a sound location. After doing some research, I saw that Bord Pleanala has upheld a 'decision to grant' for a new apartment scheme which appears to begin at the end of what would be our rear garden. Up to five storeys high. 64 apartments. Report said they addressed appellants' worries about overlooking and shadowing...Not sure when work will commence.
I know new homes schemes can lift an area up, but would your opinions be weighted towards avoiding, or going for, this property under these circumstances? We're first-time buyers and don't want to make a huge mistake buying something we can't sell later for whatever reason.
Any feedback much appreciated!
Cheers, Sal
