This thread is for a site on Chatham Place in Edge Hill. The site was last used in the mid-1990's, by the Nugent High School. When that school closed, the derelict buildings remained for a while, until they were demolished, leaving the site to become overgrown and untouched for most of the past 20 years.
During the boom years, an apartment development was approved for the site, however that never came to pass. Last year, a student flats development was approved by the council -

Earlier this year, an amended application was submitted, requesting permission to add another storey, and increase the total number of units to 399 -
This new application was approved by the Planning Committee on 23rd June 2015. With the original planning permission still active, the site became active shortly before this new grant of planning permission. Although under a different name, the site is being developed by the Elliot Group.

There has been a glimmer of life recently, with the usually chained gate open, however it was only today that there has been any real progress, as the site has now been stripped back of 20 years worth of vegetation, with a Portakabin now also on-site -
