Residents living in the vicinity of the proposed redeveloped 50,000-seater Lansdowne Road stadium in Dublin may see the value of their properties increase once it is operational, an expert for the project developers said yesterday. It was also revealed that while lowering the height of the stadium had been considered, the client ruled it out. The An Bord Pleanála hearing in Dublin yesterday heard a total of 20 presentations in support of the €350 million development on behalf of the Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company. These included a presentation by environmental consultant Seán O'Riordain of ERM Ireland. He said international research on the impact of similar developments on property prices elsewhere showed they can increase once a stadium is operational.
