3804/19: Permission for development at a 0.06 Ha site at Nos. 35 & 36 Abbey Street Upper and Abbey Cottages, Dublin 1. Permission was previously granted for the demolition of the 3 No. storey commercial unit located on the subject site under DCC Reg. Ref. 2954/18. The development will principally consist of modifications to a previously permitted development (DCC Reg. Ref. 2971/17/ABP Ref. PL29N.249037, DCC Reg. Ref. 2954/18) resulting in the omission of the previously permitted basement level -3 and resultant reconfiguration of the remaining 2 no. basement levels; the installation of double height glazing at ground and first floor level of the northern elevation and part of the eastern elevation; the removal of the previously permitted mezzanine to the first floor level; the removal of first floor guest bedrooms and their replacement with dining spaces, food preparation area, circulation and toilets; amendments to the fenestration resulting in the addition of 5 no. opaque windows per floor on the western elevation from the first to the tenth floor and the use of clear glazing instead of the previously permitted opaque glazing at 2 no. windows on the first floor and 4 no. windows on the second floor of the eastern elevation; the repositioning of the facade at seventh and eighth floor levels to align with a recently granted scheme at the neighbouring Nos. 31 to 34 Abbey Street Upper (DCC Reg. Ref. 3172/18); the construction of 2 no. additional floors each measuring 380 sq.m; the relocation of the previously permitted condensers from eighth floor level to the roof level; the removal of previously permitted solar panels at roof level and their replacement with a domestic hot water heat pump; and all associated elevational changes and site development works above and below ground. The proposed development will result in the increase of the total number of rooms from 127 no. (permitted under DCC Reg. Ref. 2954/18) to 151 no. rooms and an increase in the gross floor area from 4,927 sq.m (permitted under DCC Reg. Ref. 2954/18) to 5,355 sq.m, all provided in an 11 no. storey over 2 no. levels of basement building.
