Seven Mills? Literally flanked by Kishoge and Clondalkin stations? And also flanked by the W2 and W4?
And Shanangah Castle literally has the E1 outside their door, with Woodbrook station a short walk away.
Such notions…
Fortunate to have got a house with a driveway fit for 2 cars in our estate.
But houses in phase 2 and 3 went for 40/50k more and dont even have a driveway, with onstreet assigned parking being the norm.
Cars are all over the place , saw two neighbours arguing the other day abojt it.
Four car parking spaces in plan size equals the ground floor plan area of a typical domestic house in housing developments like these. So what do we want or need more – more houses or more car parking spaces? There’s reasons why the local authority’s development plans call for less car parking spaces, and this is one of the main ones.
Need to adopt the approach of the Japanese – proof of a place to park the car required before purchasing it.
The bottom line rules .
You are not getting a garden because the builder wants to maximise profit and the government are on their side .
Capitalism is going to eventually eat itself .
If only all that energy was spent in fighting for public transport.
My wife worked in a montessori a few years back.
Was at the back of a housing estate with set down/pick up area for about three or four cars.
Houses in the estate were about 50/50 onwer occupied and rented, so every house with AT least two cars, and every house with driveway space for one, unless the owner paved the grass patch.
No other on street parking.
Imagine what that place was like every morning/afternoon, and then imagine what it was like on bin collection morning!
Absolutely DISASTROUS planning.
„Ó Broin argued that these different parking arrangements for social or cost-rental tenants versus private homeowners are inequitable and unacceptable“
Of course EOB thinks it’s everyone’s fault, except for the people stealing the parking spaces.
Imagine dropping half a mill on a new build, paying for a parking space, and then someone whose rent you are subsidising, along with paying your own mortgage, comes along and steals your parking space
Motorists must account for a significant amount of crime nationally
When car-free ideology rubs against reality.
Probably get downvoted by no-car bicycle lovers living with their parents.
Same thing is happening in our estate built in the 1970s.
Theres space for one car on the driveway but most houses have 2, 3 or sometimes 4 cars because of adult children living at home or people house sharing.
They can shift the blame to developers all they want but people are driving because of non existent public transport and living at home / house sharing in their 30s/40s because of a housing crisis.
My estate is full of people with driveways that don’t use them.
Stories like these put me off buying new.
I’d rather buy something a bit more rural with some land around it to avoid ppl.
This is government policy at work, not price gouging by developers like so many misguided people blindly believe, LRDs have to be designed to adhere to national and local planning policies.
“In order to meet the targets set out in the National Sustainable Mobility Policy 2022 and in the Climate Action Plan 2023 for reduced private car travel it will be necessary to apply a graduated approach to the management of car parking within new residential development.”

DMURS, the design manual for roads means you have to have really narrow streets in housing estates. I’ve seen some planning get rejected because the roads were too wide.
It’s ridiculous. Nobody has anywhere to park. Emergency services are frequently blocked from accessing the emergency. It’s more dangerous for kids playing. It was an idiotic decision. Every house needs 2 parking spaces. No point hoping everyone will magic their second car away somewhere every night.
It really is a terribly short sighted policy. A lot of these places can’t install electric car charging points either
500k for a 2 bed shoe box and you cant even park a car lol. Glad my estate was built in 98.
Sounds like a right Kip
How are these people outside dublin a lot of them, supposed to switch to EVs?
What happens when their kids grow up and have to drive themselves?
Shit show
This isn’t limited to new builds tho. It’s actually a lot worse in old estates where the children are now adults living with their parents and a household has four cars instead of two.
At least with new estates, it’s all mostly young couples with infants. My parents estate is a fucking nightmare.
The lack of infrastructure planning vision in this country is astonishing. Like how can’t they do something so basic that is so normal in the rest of Europe and the western world? How can they be this stupid?
The people running the country are so detached from day to day life it is frightening. The lack of cop on and common sense is unreal.
We are a very sparesely populated country with a wet climate. Like it or not, you are not going to have public transport suitable for everyone in a country this sparsely populated. It’s not financially viable to connect every small town to each other.
To get from Portmarnock to Sandyford (17km) takes 1hr 50 minutes on public transport. That’s with Dublin level of public transport (Trains, buses and Luas). What hope does the rest of the country have?
The car is here to stay. Someone in government with some balls has to come out and say it. We need to stop making life difficult for everyday people
My estate has driveways with two spaces but more and more houses have more than two cars now as their kids get older and can’t move out. Common story across the country I am sure
There is a couple of visitor spaces at the end of our cul de sac and the residents that live next to them will actually come out and challenge anyone that uses them.
We have discussed moving to a detached house in the countryside to get away from this nonsense as it is going to get progressively worse rather than better
When we were looking to buy we immediately crossed off all houses without a driveway that would fit at least 2 cars. Even though we only had one car at the moment. We have visitors who have cars and we lived in an estate without enough parking spaces before and that was a nightmare experience. Really feel for these people.
:McEvoy and her partner paid extra to get what was sold to them as “exclusive” use of two parking spaces – but due to what she described as a poor parking management system and a shortage of spaces, they often come home to find their spots have been taken by other residents whose properties did not come with designated parking.“
That would drive me up the wall (excuse the pun). If it was me, I would install one of those lockable parking bollards. The management company should just agree on a style everyone is allowed to install if they so choose.

I don’t think I’ve ever lived anywhere in Dublin that had sufficient parking in the area.
We were looking for our first house recently, and luckily we found a grand place with a driveway. But half the new builds out there had no driveway at all. Imagine paying upwards or 500k for a house and you don’t even get a driveway. Some places have allocated spaces, but they’re not even in front of the house.
All the shite new builds I’ve seen have only space for car and a tiny postage stamp garden. They are horrible but I suppose people will take whatever they can get.
TBH as long as you are not blockingnor taking someone prescribed spit and not parking in away that prevents access to the street in general i have very little time for these turf wars. No one owns the space if you want your own parking purchases it otherwise make do like the rest of us.
If you let air out of tyres the car is stuck and can’t move. Unbelievable people.
It’s a half hour cycle to town from Seven Mills, along the canal too. Safe, pleasant, convenient. Some people make their own problems.
As if I needed another reason not to live in an estate. There’s room for 20 cars to be parked at my house.
Mandatory green areas should be the lowest priority when it comes to building these estates.
Currently living in a commuter belt town in an estate but have our own drive thankfully.
Some amount of houses have barely space for 1 car or street parking, then there is a huge green area that rarely gets used as it’s on a hill (ball playing being the main green activity for children in my experience).
We let the virtue signalers and nimbyism cunts come before common sense way too much in this country.
In our estate someone had a heart attack recently and an ambulance really struggled to get to their driveway because of other people parking on the footpath and because there was a big GAA match on nearby so loads of people parked in the estate and caused obstructions. A fire brigade came in too just incase a car needed to moved but the ambulance somehow managed.
The residents association posted a polite message a few days later asking people not to park on corners or footpaths etc to ensure there was access for the emergency vehicles and two days later the same two cars were parked on the opposite corners. Parking like a self entitled dickhead could literally be life and death for a neighbour if an emergency vehicle can’t get access. Should really be some harsh penalties for it.
