Fairy Trail Gets 14 New Neighbours

Priory House gets its makeover…

he pixies, sprites and imps living along Delgany’s Fairy Trail might find it a tad tougher to stay hidden with the arrival of a new estate next door.

A company called CPF Struan Hill Vision Limited have just been given an extension on their plans to build 14 houses on the land surrounding Struan House.

Thankfully, this old house is a protected structure, and its renovation is part of the approved planning application.

Those planning details in full are…

Extend the appropriate period of 15/260
(a) demolition of part single and part two storey rear extension, provision of single storey replacement rear extension and renovation of existing part single-storey part two-storey and part three-storey dwelling house, Struan House (a protected structure).
(b) demolition of partly built two-storey dwelling (constructed pursuant to Wicklow Co. Council ref no. 05/3041).
(c) completion of partly built internal road network (constructed pursuant to Wicklow Co. Council ref no. 05/3041 and 05/3042.
(d) provision of 14 detached, two storey dwellings.
(e) alteration and completion of foul and surface water sewerage system (partly constructed pursuant to Wicklow Co. Council ref no. 05/3041 and 05/3042).
(f) all necessary ancillary works, landscaping and boundary treatments, all accessed via existing access on Priory Road (constructed pursuant to Wicklow County Council re no. 05/3041 and 05/3042). The proposed dwellings and ancillary works will be in the curtilage and attendant grounds of the protected structure Struan House.

The development is on a 2.8ha site (part of site of partly constructed development)

With the original plans to build in the grounds of Struan House having being put on hold back in the 2008 crash, today the property bubble in Delgany and Greystones (and beyond) just keeps on getting bigger.

And sure, it’s not like it could ever burst again. Never. Ever.
