Development description
- Development at a site of c. 0.135 ha at fitzwilliam street lower (and bound to the rear (east) by james's street east). The development relates to proposed modifications to part of the wider redevelopment of lands at nos. 13-30 fitzwilliam street lower, dublin 2 comprising most of a city block bounded by fitzwilliam street lower, mount street upper, james's street east and baggot street lower permitted under an bord pleanála reference pl29s. 244492 (dublin city council reference 3052/14) currently under construction, and as amended by dublin city council references 4428/17, 2059/18. The proposed development relates to 2 no. Parcels within the wider esb redevelopment namely the north eastern corner of block a, and the south eastern corner of block b; both of which address james's street east. Under the parent permission, office and associated ancillary uses are permitted in these blocks. The proposed works relate to levels 00, level lower ground, level
- 01 and level
- 02 only. Internal layout reconfiguration is proposed at the block a parcel north of the permitted courtyard. This includes the relocation of electrical plant rooms from level 00 (ground floor) to level
- 01, and associated relocation of office space from level
- 01 to level
- Associated modifications to fenestration at the north side of the courtyard include the installation of louvred doors to plant rooms at level
- 01 and the installation of fenestration at level 00 to align with the facade treatment of other office space in the development along james's street east. An additional storage room (12 sq. M) is also proposed to the east of the internal stairs in block a along the james's street east boundary. External stairs are proposed to provide access from james's street east to the proposed plant rooms at courtyard level (level
- 01). Associated minor modifications to the permitted landscaping of the courtyard are proposed. At the block b parcel, it is proposed to relocate electrical plantroom from the west side to the east side of the courtyard at level
- 01 with associated reduction of internal floorspace (
- 21 sq. M) at mezzanine lower ground level. An associated enlargement of the courtyard area at level
- 01 is proposed (25 sq. M) with a subsequent reduction in courtyard area at level
- 02 (
- 25 sq. M). The latter results in an enlarged test lab (40 sq. M) at level
- 02. At level
- 01, an internal access stairs to the south of the courtyard will be replaced with an external stair providing access from courtyard level
- 01 to james's street east at ground floor (level 00). The net additional floorspace arising from the proposed modifications outlined above is 16 sq. M
