Permission for development on a site of 0.999ha to amend a previously permitted scheme (Reg. Reg. DSDZ2103/21-the 'Parent Permission' (on a smaller site of 0.921ha, the difference in site area of 0.078 ha accounting for the new spur to facilitate the ramp from North Wall Avenue) totalling 66,718 sqm (comprising 43,767 sqm above ground and 22,951 sq m below ground)- to now provide in this 'Amendment Scheme' 67,364 sq m (comprising of 49,364 sq m above ground and 18,000 sq m below ground), at City Block 9, North Wall Quay and Mayor Street Upper, Dublin 1, bounded by the residual City Block 9 lands of 0.9917ha and North Wall Avenue to the east. (The development site of 0.999ha includes 0.071ha of lands to facilitate the temporary provision of a pocket park at ground level pending redevelopment of the residual City Block 9 lands.) The overall gross commercial area increases by 646 sq m from that granted by the Parent Permission: an increase of 5,597 sq m at ground and above; and a decrease of 4,951 sq m at basement levels. This application relates to a proposed development within a Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme area, located within City Block 9 as identified in the North Lotts & Grand Canal Dock Planning Scheme, 2014. The Parent Permission permits the construction of 3 No. commercial office buildings (including retail (278 sq m (accounting for a reduction of 90 sq m by Condition No. 31 of the Parent Permission)) and exhibition/gallery 188 sq m), identified as four blocks (Blocks 1-4) ranging in height from 5-storeys to 9-storeys. The Parent Permission is valid until 2 October 2026. The Amendment Scheme will consist of the construction of 3 No. commercial office buildings (including retail (138 sq m), retail services (145 sq m) and gallery / exhibition space (186 sq m)), identified as three blocks (Blocks 1, 2 and 3) ranging in height from 5-storeys to 9-storeys.

The decoupling is designed to facilitate the independent development of Block 2 at all levels from basement upwards, independent of the residual Blocks 1 and 3, respectively. 2. Amendment of the permitted Block 1 (9,409 sq m from ground level upwards) over a two-level reconfigured basement (with no external vehicular ramp) (one basement level omitted) and with additional roof level plant (to replace that displaced from basement level). 3.
