The practice was commissioned by the Daughters of Charity to quantify the development potential of 8.8ha of lands located at Newtownpark Avenue in Blackrock, Co. Dublin.  The project was undertaken in several phases and began with a masterplan which inputted into the preparation of the Blackrock Local Area Plan 2015. It was then followed by a planning application for residential development on parts of the lands on behalf of the Health Service Executive, which was granted planning permission by both Dún Laoghaire Rathdown and An Bord Pleanála.

As well as preparing the masterplan, MacCabe Durney Barnes worked closely with Studio 3 Architects to secure planning permission.
