Similar nearby applications linked to this planning decision.- 3758/20The proposed development seeks to amend a previously permitted development under DCC Planning Ref. 2024/16 (An Bord Pleanala Ref. PL29N.246933), as amended by DCC Planning Ref. 3974/19 (ABP Ref. 303060-19). The proposed amendment comprises an alteration to the permitted floorplan at sixth floor level to provide an infill extension of part of the permitted roof terrace at the north-eastern corner of the building by reducing the northern setback from approximately 7m to 4m at this level/location. This extension will deliver an additional c.66sq.m (GFA) office floor space together with a commensurate decrease in the area of the permitted roof terrace at sixth floor level. The proposed alterations to the permitted floorplan at sixth floor level would also result in associated external amendments to the permitted elevations whereby the eastern elevation at sixth floor level is extended northwoards by an additional c. 3m in a matching design/ materials/ finishes, together with a commensurate reduction of the northern setback at sixth floor level along the eastern part of the northern eleveation. In the interest of clarity, it should be noted that no changes are proposed to the permitted scheme at fifth floor level and below. The proposed amendments and extension will result in an increase in the overall permitted floorspace of the development from 22,059 sq.m (GFA), excluding basement levels to 22,125sq.m (GFA), excluding basement levels- an overall increase of approximately 66 sq.m (GFA) of office floor space). / 0.0 km away / 21 January 2021Granted

An additional 907 sq.m of office floorspace is proposed at sixth floor level. The proposed alterations to the permitted floorplans at ground to sixth floor level (as described above) would also result in associated external amendments to the permitted elevations, as follows: (i) Eastern Elevation - At the southern end of the building the permitted parapet height of 21.8m with two setback levels (at heights of 25.5m and approximately 29.8m, respectively) is revised to a parapet height of approximately 25.9m with a single setback level at a height of approximately 29.8m.

A Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel area will also be provided at roof level, immediately to the south of the enclosed plant area. In the interest of clarity the above proposed alterations to the floorplans at ground to sixth floor level will result in (a) an overall increase of floorspace from an approved 20,521.6 sq.m (GFA) to 22,059 sq.m (GFA) - an increase of 1,546.4 sq.m (GFA) - an increase of 1,546.4 sq.m (GFA), comprising an increase of 31 sq.m (GFA) of retail floorspace from 458 sq.m (GFA) to 489 sq.m and an increase of approximately 1,5116 sq.m (GFA) of office floorspace from 18,236 sq.m to 19,752 sq.m (GFA). / 0.0 km away / 05 November 2019Granted
