Residents of Howth, Co Dublin have lodged objections to redevelopment plans at the former Waterside bar owned by a mixed martial arts fighter. They are concerned that the proposed roof terrace would invade their privacy and create noise.

Monica Lambert, a resident of Dunbo Hill, Howth, which is to the rear of the premises, has objected to the planned inclusion of an “unprecedented” open-roof terrace in the new development. She said the application was “maximalist” and does not give any consideration to the adverse impacts the development might have on the community and the environment.
Monica Creenane, who said she has lived at her Dunbo Hill home for 54 years, wrote to the council objecting to the development, stating that she had concerns about the “potential intrusion” that the roof terrace might have on her privacy and security. She also said it was important to consider the “historical significance” of Howth.
“The charm of this area of Howth is in the interesting and quaint streetscapes with unexpected views of the harbour and northwards to Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island. It is one of the first areas visitors and tourists visit in Howth, after the harbour. If tourism is to be encouraged in Howth, this area should be protected,” they wrote.
