The development will consist of amendments to the previously permitted development (Dublin City Council Reg. Ref. 3193/22 and An Coimisiún Pleanála Ref. No. ABP-314103-22) as follows: a) Minor amendment to the red line boundary, now with a total area of c. 0.16 hectares (0.15 hectares in previously approved application); b) Minor amendments to the building footprint and to all elevations, including the reconfiguration of windows, balconies, and ground-floor entrances/windows; c) Minor reconfiguration of the stair core, lift core and fire escape throughout all levels; d) Amendments to the basement level, including revisions to the stair core and stair, and the provision of a sprinkler room and generator room in lieu of a store.

It is now proposed to provide 1 no. retail unit of c. 446 sq.m (including off licence area extending to c. 30 sq.m) in lieu of the 3 no. retail units previously permitted.

All associated internal revisions are included; f) Amendments at first, second, and third floor levels, comprising the reconfiguration of internal layouts to provide 12 no. apartments per floor and associated balconies (10 no. 1-bed units and 2 no. 2-bed units on each floor). These levels were previously permitted to accommodate 10 no. apartments per floor (5 no. 1-bed units and 5 no. 2-bed units). The gross internal floor area at each level will reduce to c. 776.6 sq.m (previously approved for 789 sq.m).

This level was previously approved to accommodate 8 no. apartments (4 no. 1-bed units and 4 no. 2-bed units) and an external communal amenity space of 167 sq.m. The gross internal floor area will increase to c. 667.5 sq.m (previously approved for 652 sq.m).

This level was previously permitted to accommodate 4 no. 2-bed units and an external communal space of 213 sq.m. The gross internal floor area will increase to c. 444.1 sq.m (previously approved for 420 sq.m). All associated internal and external revisions are included; i) Amendments at roof level, including the provision of PV panels; and, j) Amendments to bicycle parking provision at ground-floor level to provide a total of 64 no. long-term secure spaces, inclusive of 4 no. accessible/cargo bicycle spaces, and 38 no. short-term visitor spaces.
