Plans to remove the roof and add four storeys to a protected 19th-century house in Dún Laoghaire as part of a build-to-rent development have been submitted to An Bord Pleanála.

Ted Living Ltd is seeking permission for 146 rental-only apartments in blocks up to eight storeys on the old Tedcastles Yard industrial site, opposite the town’s west pier, using the Strategic Housing Development system due to be discontinued next year.

The site includes Dun Leary House, a distinctive yellow brick, detached four-storey house dating from the 1870s, built for the original owner of the adjoining coal yard.

Ted Living last year sought permission to demolish the house as part of plans for 161 build-to-rent apartments, but

Street artists putting the finishing touches to a series of large murals as part of the ‘Dún Laoghaire Anseo’ project funded by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, with the assistance of Creative Ireland.

It challenged 14 artists to paint their interpretation of “the essence of the town” on its walls and buildings reflecting Dún Laoghaire’s ‘maritime heritage, its local characters and its wildlife’.
