#BullochHarbour - Permission is being sought to develop a mixed housing and commercial scheme at the former premises of Western Marine at Dalkey’s Bulloch Harbour.

The planning application by Bartra Property Ltd calls for the demolition of the existing warehouses on the waterfront site before the construction of three detached houses and six terraced homes over “marine-based activity units” and a quayside café.

Western Marine bade farewell to Bulloch Harbour after 48 years this past April ahead of a relocation to new chandlery premises which has yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, the new development is being closely watched by the newly formed Bulloch Harbour Preservation Group, comprising local residents, boat users and Dalkey Community Council.
