KC Peaches to open new cafe as objection overruled

Food operator KC Peaches is to open a café beside Dublin's Shelbourne Hotel after the planning appeals board overruled an objection from businessman Patrick Beades.

The new business will be located in the ground floor of Huguenot House, a mixed use building on St Stephen’s Green owned by Sean Mulryan’s Ballymore Properties.

The board said that in deciding not to accept the inspector’s recommendation to dismiss the appeal by KC Peaches and, notwithstanding the scant nature of the grounds of the appeal, the board “did not share the inspector’s decision that the appeal was without substance or foundation…”

KC Peaches will pay an annual rent of €100,000 for the new café which will have as ground floor area of 128 sq m (1,377 sq ft). The retail unit was previously occupied by Sony.

Lisney and Savills handled the letting.
