What’s proposed

Permission for development to amend a permitted Build-to-Rent Shared Living Residential Development. The development will principally consist of amendments to the elevations and roof profile of the permitted scheme (DCC Reg. Ref. 3019/20; ABP Ref:PL29S.308936), principally comprising a change from a pitched roof with overhanging eaves to a flat roof, providing an increase in height to the recessed top level by 145 mm, increasing from 15.660 metres (plus lift overrun) to 15.805 metres (plus lift overrun); and the provision of a double-height facade treatment at the entrance on the Merrion Road/south-west elevation. Other minor changes include; the addition of a ventilation grille to windows and changes to windows sizes throughout the scheme; the provision of an aluminium spandrel panel under the windows at lower ground floor level on the north-east, north-west and south east elevations; the provision of two additional windows at lower ground floor level and one additional window in the staircore at fouth floor level on the north-western elevation; the replacement of a window with a ventilation grille at ground floor level on the north-eastern elevation; the provision of brise soleil at third and fourth floor levels; general minor facade amendments; amendments to the internal layout at lower ground floor level; the provision of plant; the provision of signage; and all associated changes above and below ground
