An Bord Pleanála Approves First Planning Phase Of New Development On Old Dell Site In Bray

Thursday, 31 October 2019 13:10

By Hugh O'Farrell Walsh

The site has been lying idle since 2006 when Dell relocated to Cherrywood with the loss of 1,000 local jobs.

A slightly altered version of the new design will see a mix of residential and commercial properties including a nursing home and an office block.

Some locals had expressed concerns the planned 4 storeys would overlook their homes and restrict their views of Bray Head.

The new design will stretch to only 3 storeys in the north and east of the site.

Fianna Fáil Health Spokesperson Wicklow TD Stephen Donnelly has welcomed the first phase of the planning application.
