Ref. DSDZ5296/22) identified as Block No. 3 over three levels of basement on a site of 1.24ha forming part of a larger site identified as City Block No. 9, North Wall Quay, Dublin 1. The subject site is primarily bounded by: Mayor Street Upper to the north; North Wall Quay to the south; North Wall Avenue to the east; and the residual City Block No. 9 lands of 0.69ha to the west. The Application relates to a proposed development within a Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme area (North Lotts and Grand Canal Dock SDZ). For the purposes of identification, the Applicant references this proposal as Scheme No. 16. The earlier commercial permission (Reg. Ref.
