The alterations and work to accommodate the change of uses include: repair and refurbishment of the existing windows and render finish to the front and rear elevations, a new shopfront at the ground floor to Parnell Street, new openings in existing walls, new stud partitions and risers for mechanical and electrical services and foul and surface water drainage. It is proposed to retain the existing timber first floor and install a new concrete floor over this floor, remove the second and third timber floors and install concrete floors in their place. Works to the roof will consist of the complete refurbishment of all roofs and chimneys with existing slates and timber rafters and joists retained and reused and alterations and extensions to the roofs to accommodate the proposed residential use. A comprehensive series of structural repairs is also to be carried out to the buildings to facilitate the proposed uses and ensure the long-term stability of the buildings together with all associated site works. ______________________________________________________________________________

How to submit an observation

  1. Read the file on the council register.No register URL is recorded for this reference; search the Dublin City Council planning register for WEB3590/26.
  2. Write your observation.Quote WEB3590/26 at the top, give your name and the address the authority should reply to, and confine it to planning matters — zoning objective, height, overlooking, traffic, drainage, heritage. What you say here is what you can later appeal on.
  3. Pay the €20 fee.Every submission needs it; without it the observation is invalid and is returned. Dublin City Council takes it online with the submission or at the counter.
  4. Submit before 25 Nov 2026.Online through the register above, or in writing to the Planning Department, Dublin City Council. The test is the date the authority receives it, not the date you post it.
  5. Keep the acknowledgement.The council's receipt is your proof of a valid observation — see below.

Statutory basis. Section 34(1) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) requires a planning authority to consider any submission or observation made to it in accordance with the Regulations. Article 29 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended) sets the window: a submission or observation must be received by the authority within five weeks beginning on the date of receipt of the application, and must be accompanied by the prescribed fee of €20. A submission received after the window, or without the fee, is invalid and the authority must return it.

After you submit: keep the acknowledgement. Under the 2024 Act it secures your right to appeal — only the applicant and a person who made a valid observation may bring the council's decision to An Coimisiún Pleanála, within four weeks of the decision. Making a valid observation is also what buys a right of appeal: under s.37(1) of the 2000 Act, only the applicant and a person who made a valid submission or observation to the planning authority may appeal the decision to An Coimisiún Pleanála (within four weeks of the decision). Missing the five-week window closes both doors.
