Planners have approved plans for the construction of Dublin Fields movie studios in south Dublin, which could create up to 2,800 jobs.
Planners have given the go ahead for the proposed Dublin Fields movie studios for a site in south Dublin that may create as many as 2,800 jobs on and off site when operational. South Dublin County Council awarded a 10 year planning permission to Lens Media Ltd for the 56-acre site which includes 20 individual structures amounting to over 74,000 sq m of gross floor space.
The development includes six buildings that comprise 11 internal sound stages along with ancillary offices at Grange Castle Business Park, Co Dublin. A planning report by consultants, Tom Phillips+ Associates lodged with the application stated that Dublin Fields “will have all the elements that will lure top productions from around the world”. The planning report stated that the project “will be a world class studio” and occupy the top tier of movie studios globally alongside Pinewood in London and Trilith in the US. Underlining the scale of the proposal, the council is requiring the applicants to pay €8.85m to towards public infrastructure and facilities benefiting development within the Council area. The payment is one of 25 conditions the council has attached to the planning permission at the end of the 106 page long planning report. A spokeswoman for Lens Media stated that the studios “will more than double the current soundstage offering in Ireland, acting as a catalyst for the indigenous screen industry and catering for growing, unmet production needs. Once fully operational, it will directly support in the region of 2,800 jobs and over 2,100 indirectly. Welcoming the grant of permission, the spokeswoman said: “We would like to acknowledge the support from South Dublin County Council over the last number of years
