Ref. 4110/17; ABP Ref. PL29N.301416) on a site of 0.127 hectares at Twilfit House, 137-140, Abbey Street Upper, 57-60, Jervis Street And, 1-4 Wolfe Tone Street, Dublin 1, D01 R2P0. The site is bound: to the north by Wolfe Tone Park; to the south by Abbey Street Upper; to the east by Jervis Street; and to the west by Wolfe Tone Street. The proposed development, which provides for alterations to the permitted building, comprises: a reduction in the size of the permitted basement level (from 1.090 sqm floor area permitted to 324 sq m floor area now proposed), including the omission of the permitted gym at this level (providing for a change of use from gym to hotel-related use and attenuation tank (273 sq m)); the provision of a mezzanine level between ground and first floor levels to provide additional hotel bedrooms, ancillary areas and circulation (413 sq m floor area proposed); internal alterations to the permitted ground, first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth floor levels, including the provision of additional floor area to provide hotel-related use in the permitted void at first floor level and a reduction in the size of the permitted lightwell (resulting in an additional 99 sq m floor area at this level) and a reduction in the size of the permitted lightwell from second to sixth floor levels (resulting in an additional 45 sq m in total across these floors); alterations to the permitted plant areas at roof level and the introduction of hotel floor area comprising bedrooms ancillary areas and circulation space at this level (474 sq m floor area proposed); the change of use of the permitted gym / retail unit at ground floor level to hotel-related use (120 sq m); and alterations to the permitted finished floors levels of the building from basement to sixth floor levels. The proposed development will result in a hotel with related hotel facilities including restaurant, public bar, reception and seating areas, work space, storage, administration and staff facilities, other hotel-related back-of-house areas, plant (including substation with associated switch room), waste storage area and cycle parking. The total gross floor area of the building increases by 265 sq m (from 7,547 sq m permitted to 7,812 sq m proposed) with the number of hotel bedrooms increasing by 26 no. (from 180 no. permitted to 206 no. proposed), resulting in an eight storey building (including set-backs at Seventh Floor Level), excluding mezzanine level, over basement. The scheme also includes: associated elevational changes; and associated alterations to the permitted scheme’s services (mechanical and electrical, water supply, sewage disposal and surface water disposal).
