New plan for former print worksDavid Patton and Sons has come back with a new planning application for the former 0.25-acre Fodhla printing works on Brookfield Road in Kilmainham, Dublin 8.
This time it is applying for planning permission for a mixed-use development of 11 duplex and triplex apartments with roof terraces and terraced houses and 1,768sq m (19,030sq ft) of office accommodation. The developer is also looking for 46 car-parking spaces and public open space in the courtyard. Last June, Dublin City Council refused permission for a development of 24 apartments and duplexes in two blocks, a four-bedroom detached house, offices and a medical suite on the grounds as it would constitute a substandard form of development.
Council plans 137 homes in D8
Dublin City Council is inviting submissions and observations on its plan for Saint Michael's Estate in Inchicore, Dublin 8. The proposal is for 30 houses and 107 apartments in a series of terraced two-storey houses and apartments over three, four and five storeys.
There will also be a landscaped courtyard, community room, a crèche at ground level and 89 above ground car-parking spaces, as well as a new pedestrian link through to the Grand Canal bank alongside the wall to the cemetery. The plans can be viewed at Dublin City Council offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 2. The deadline for submissions or observations is June 14th.
Restaurant plan for mews on Green
Hugh O'Regan and Martin Conroy's Kalestone Ltd is seeking planning permission to carry out works to coach-house mews buildings to the rear of 14 and 15 St Stephen's Green, which are protected structures.
They are looking for a change of use for the 925sq m (9,957sq ft) mews space to restaurant, and repair slate roofs and carry out works to number 15 involving a change of use from office to restaurant and the construction of a two-storey colonnaded link building with roof terrace and a servery for outdoor restaurant use.
Numbers 14 and 15 St Stephen's Green are owned by Dublin City Council which refurbished them at a cost of €5 million and leased them to O'Regan and Conroy who are believed to be planning a club for young professionals. The houses are rich in period features, with neoclassical plasterwork by one of Dublin's most renowned stuccodors Michael Stapleton.
