Proposed development

DTDL Limited intend to apply for a 10 year planning permission for development at the Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2, D02 X309. The site is bound by St. Stephen’s Green West to the east, King Street South to the north, Glovers Alley to the south (in part) and Mercer Street Lower to the west, on a site area of c. 1.4 ha. The proposed development will consist of: • The rejuvenation of the Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, involving the internal reconfiguration and partial redevelopment of the Centre, while maintaining a number of existing retail units and elements of the existing building structure; • The removal of the existing façade at Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre and replacement with new elevational treatments; • The proposal will result in a building of up to 8 no. storeys over basement (excluding mezzanines levels) with a total gross floor area of c. 87,158 sq.m (including multistorey car park); • There is a general increase in height across the development over the existing shopping centre and multistorey car park, which varies across the site. The maximum height increase over the existing multistorey car park (which includes plant screen parapets and when measured from the low point on King Street South), is 11.18 metres (existing 30.59m to a proposed 41.77m). The maximum height increase over the existing shopping centre (excluding the multistorey car park) (which includes plant screen parapets/glazed atrium roof and when measured from the low point on King Street South), is 13.27 metres (existing 25.5m to a proposed 38.77m); • The resulting retail floor area at basement, ground and first floor levels is 19,001 sq.m.; • The resulting café/restaurant/bar uses floor area at basement, ground, first and fourth floor levels is 4,768 sq.m.. The restaurant/bar at fourth floor level will be served by an outdoor terrace (374 sq.m); • Provision of c. 29,251 sq.m. office and ancillary spaces (including existing floor area where retained) at ground, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh floor levels and associated roof terraces; • Provision of a new townhall (511 sqm) at first floor level; • Provision of a 2-no. screen cinema (714 sqm) at ground and basement level; • Provision of an art exhibition space (447 sqm) at first floor level with associated additional arts display space within the shopping mall and artium; • The overall net increase in GFA over the existing development is c. 20,645 sq.m; • The proposal will include a reconfigured internal mall opening onto St. Stephen’s Green providing access to new and existing retail and café/restaurant units at ground and first floor; • Retail, café/restaurant and bar (public house) units are provided on the King Street South frontage, and on the St. Stephen’s Green West frontage; • The proposed development will include 441 no. bicycle parking spaces and 551 no. car parking spaces (503 spaces to Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre and 48 spaces for RCSI Link). This represents a reduction in 138 no. car parking spaces from the number of spaces at present and; • The proposed development includes all associated works including partial demolition of existing structures, utilities connections, roof level plant and telecommunications infrastructure, PV panels, temporary construction works and site hoarding
