Development description

The development will consist of the demolition of the existing single-storey commercial building, change of use to residential, and the construction of a terrace of three, three-storey, two-bedroom dwelling houses with a total gross internal floor area of 295.2m2 (98.4m2 per unit). The terrace has a maximum parapet height of 9 metres with set-backs to the upper level on the leeson street upper, swan place and morehampton square facades. The provision of private open space is accommodated for each house at the upper level, with three individual loggias facing swan place and a planted terrace addressing leeson street upper.

A new one metre wide footpath is to be created along the full length of the swan place facade, for public use, allowing pedestrian access to each of the three dwellings and to swan place generally. All associated hard landscaping and site works are to be included.
