The Central Bar, Bridge Street, Balbriggan, Dublin
Proposed development
Planning permission is sought for the change of use from residential to commercial use of the existing first floor residential unit and existing roof terraces and existing first floor storeroom building, all above the existing public house premises. The new layout to the first floor will include new function room, storage rooms, customer, and staff toilets and a new dispense and servery bar. The works involve removal of part of the roof to the existing first floor storeroom building to the rear of the property to increase the area of outdoor terrace. The works also include a retractable awning over part of the outdoor seating area and glass balustrades at first floor level to the southern boundary of the property overlooking the River Bracken and all ancillary site works at the existing licenced premises.
What happens next
A commencement notice has been lodged: works are under way or about to start.
