Official record
Development description
- Expp: the proposed works comprise the removal of an existing non-original modern shopfront, constructed of timber, at ground floor level at 42-44 lower drumcondra road, dublin
- The works will involve exposing and reinstating the building's original brick façade. No new works, replacement shopfront installation, or structural alterations are proposed. The objective is to restore the building's original architectural expression and visually reintegrate it with the surrounding historic streetscape within the architectural conservation area. It is submitted that the works constitute maintenance and improvement under section 4(1)(h) of the planning and development act 2000 (as amended), as they do not materially affect the external appearance so as to render the structure with neighbouring properties, and are conservation-led enhancements that restore rather than alter the streetscape character
