The Land Development Agency (LDA) and Dublin City Council have lodged a Part 10 planning application for Phase 3 of the Cherry Orchard Point development in Dublin 10.

The proposed phase will deliver 312 homes, alongside retail and commercial units, public open space and a range of supporting amenities.

The plans include seven apartment blocks ranging in height from four to ten storeys. Designed to create a high-quality residential environment, the scheme will include landscaped public spaces, communal amenity areas and private open space for residents.

The plans also include a new principal access route via Barnville Park, upgraded footpaths and cycle lanes, and the Barnville Park pedestrian link which will connect Cherry Orchard, Park West and Park West & Cherry Orchard railway station.

The application represents the latest phase of the wider Cherry Orchard Point development and follows significant progress across the site.

Pending planning permission, the project is targeted to appoint a contractor post tendering in Q1 2028.

Construction began on Phase 1 in November 2025 with the first homes expected in 2028. Once complete, this phase will deliver 708 new homes, as well as a supermarket, creche, commercial, retail and community spaces.

Construction is also underway on Phase 2. This phase will deliver 137 new homes alongside additional public amenity spaces.

In total, Cherry Orchard Point will deliver 1157 quality new homes and community infrastructure, alongside enhanced transport connections, creating a vibrant new community in west Dublin.

Phelim O'Neill, Director of Development at the LDA, said,

“It’s great to see the progress being made at Cherry Orchard Point. In less than a year, we’re seeing the first phase really come to life, marking an exciting new chapter for the area. We want to build on the current momentum and have now submitted plans for the next stage of the development. Cherry Orchard is a well-connected urban location with great potential – and these 312 homes will help more people access high-quality housing, with the services and infrastructure needed to support the growth of a sustainable community for years to come.”

Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Daryl Barron, said,

“The submission of plans for this next phase of Cherry Orchard Point reflects the strong momentum that has been built across the development in recent years. Through our partnership with the Land Development Agency, we are delivering not only new homes, but the infrastructure, amenities and public spaces that are essential to building successful communities. This application will help bring forward another 312 homes and further strengthen connections between Cherry Orchard, Park West and the wider city.”

The Land Development Agency (LDA) is the State’s affordable housing delivery body. Its main role is to acquire and develop State and other land to deliver affordable homes to address the country’s housing need.

The Agency has commenced construction on various state sourced and privately acquired land and has a delivery pipeline in excess of 28,000 homes through its direct delivery and homebuilder partnership channels.

Additionally, the LDA undertakes work on large-scale longer-term strategic areas by master-planning and bringing forward planning applications in locations such as Limerick Colbert Quarter, the Digital Hub in Dublin and Sandy Road in Galway.

The LDA is also responsible for a range of public functions including research, master planning and the development of construction guidelines and best practices. The LDA has produced and now regularly updates the Report on Relevant Public Land, which identified 102 State owned sites with the potential for 70,830 homes.

At Cherry Orchard Point, The LDA and DCC are progressing plans for the development of lands beside Park West Avenue and the Park West Cherry Orchard Railway Station in Dublin 10.

The overall plan for this project will deliver a mixed-use residential development with public amenity, community, retail and commercial uses. This ambitious development will be delivered across a number of different phases, with construction already underway on Phase 1 and Phase 2.
