College of Surgeons plans five-storey building in D2

The College of Surgeons is looking for planning permission to build a new five-storey building with a sports facility on a site at York Street and Proud's Lane in Dublin 2.

The proposal is for a building with four storeys below ground level and five above. On the upper levels would be an educational, training and commercial building, while below ground level would include the national surgical training centre and a multi-purpose sports hall. The proposal is that the building will link up with the recently completed York House to the east of the site.

Offices for D2 church hall

A developer is looking for a change of use for the former Moravian church hall on Bishop Street, Dublin 2 from warehouse to office and to build a seven-storey office block beside it. Boylan Brothers Ltd is about to apply for planning permission to remove the non-original first floor of the protected structure and build a free-standing mezzanine floor. It is proposing to restore a cloister to the south of the building and add a single storey glazed extension to the cloister with pedestrian access from the laneway on the western boundary of the site. The restoration will involve the re-instatement of the original garden plot. The seven-storey over basement office building would have a glazed link to the church. The hall was built in the early 20th century to mask an earlier meeting hall and closed in 1959, after which it was used as offices.
