Proposed development

Change of use of an existing two-storey building, which contains 95.6 sq. metres, from vacant retail purposes (travel agency) to a restaurant, the demolition of a small two-storey return section to the rear of this building (which contains 27.6 sq. metres) and the demolition of a bay window in its facade (which contains 4 sq. metres) at 11 Vernon Avenue, Clontarf, Dublin 3. The proposal also entails the erection of a new two-storey extension to the rear of the existing building and a new two-storey bay window addition to the front measuring 112 sq. metres in total. The application intends the use of this new floorspace as part of the proposed restaurant, which will then contain 235.24 sq. metres in total and which will accommodate kitchen, storage, dining, food preparation and ancillary bar areas, as well as wash-up activities and a refuse storage facility. The development also entails physical works including the creation of a new door in the facade of the existing building, the creation of four new window openings in its side elevation and the provision of roof-mounted plant equipment.
