The property comprises an almost regular shaped and level site of approx. 0.41 ha
(1.01 acres) and includes the protected structure of the former Tramyard Depot for
Dublin City which was closed in 1948. The existing building is currently used for office
accommodation and extends to approx. 2,316 sq. m. (24,930 sq. ft.) over two floors.
There is an additional stone building to the rear of the site and a separate porta cabin
single storey store.

The main access point is directly from Dartry Road which is immediately at the traffic
lights with Orwell Road.
There is also separate access to the rear of the site via a laneway on the southern
side of the property.

ZONING
The property is situated in an area that is zoned Z2 “Residential Neighbourhoods
(Conservation Areas)” under the 2022 – 2028 Dublin City Council Development
Plan. The objective Z2 is “to protect and/or improve the amenities of residential
conservation areas”.
Part of the buildings are listed on the Dublin City Council list of protected structures
(No.2242). Described as “(a) the tram shed, (b) the lodge, (c) the stone building in
the southeastern corner of the site, and (d) all boundary walls to the site; excluding
(a) the interior of the tram shed, (b) the 1970s lean-to extension along the eastern side
of the tram shed, (c) the corrugated-iron boiler house at the southern end of the east
elevation of the tram shed, and (d) the flat-roofed prefabricated building situated
along the southern boundary of the site, to the east of the tram shed”.

FEASIBILITY STUDY
A Feasibility Study has been prepared on the site by John
Fleming Architects (April 2023) and they state that “normally
Protected Structures do not easily facilitate extensive
alterations………..there are a number of additions and internal
alterations that do not form part of the Protected Structures”
and this allows a more potential for a more adventurous
design. They have considered three schemes.
• Residential Scheme for 30 units
• Residential Scheme for 26 units and
• A Student Accommodation Scheme for 178 beds
• Scheme 1 most likely has the best potential (subject to
planning permission) given the price point and demand
for accommodation in the area and in particular the lack
of new A BER rated stock.
