What’s proposed
Planning permission for development on a site of c.28 ha at no. 1 Commons Street, Dublin 1, D01 Y048 (which is a 2 no. storey office at fourth and fifth floor levels, located above the 4 no. storey commercial car park IFSC Carpark, Commons Street, Dublin 1, D01 DA34). The site is bounded to the north by The Exchange, Georges Dock, an office block, to the east by Commons Street, to the south by the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel, Custom House Quay and to the west by Exchange Place. The development will consist of alterations to the front (east), rear (west) elevations at fourth floor level, fifth floor level and roof level (with no change to the floor area of the existing office floor plate or balconies on the east and west elevations at fourth and fifth floor levels), and all ancillary and associated site development works. Replacement of cladding is proposed at third floor level on east and west elevations. In the interest of clarity, there is no proposed increase in existing floor areas and relates to elevation changes only. The development will include demolition of elements of the existing eastern and western fascia including the removal and replacement of windows and cladding, rearrangement of fenestration, new curtain walls, projecting metals fins, balustrades and all associated site development works
