Development description

The permitted development relates to the refurbishment and extension of block c (fronting on to duke lane) at royal hibernian way (and also includes the provision of a two storey esb sub-station and ancillary changes to basement level within the complex).

Bicycle parking spaces to an alternative location at basement level, proximate to 12 duke lane, resulting in the loss of 2 no. Existing car parking spaces. The permitted development resulted in an increase in gross office floorspace at block c of c. 866 sqm, bringing the building total to c. 1,656 sqm gross floor area for block c. The proposed amendments do not amend the gross floor area of the permitted development. The introduction of the second staircase and associated internal reconfiguration results in a reduction in the net internal area from 1,162sqm to 1,094sqm
