Official record

Development description

A proposal was previously approved (reg. Ref. 3442/16) for the redevelopment of a circa 0.64 hectare site centered on the clerys buildings, 18-27 o'connell street lower, sackville place, earl place and earl street north, dublin
This proposal was for a mixed-use development including retail, office, restaurants, bars, hotel, refurbishments and public realm upgrades to earl place. Within that application, a hotel was approved which involved a) the demolition of 13-15 earl place (the former clerys warehouse building) and the construction of a setback 7-storey building (23.21m in height), 176 bedroom hotel with a gross floor area of 8337m2 to include ancillary cafe/restaurant/bar uses and ancillary facilities and b) the retention and refurbishment of 94 and 95 marlborough street for use as part of the hotel. Permission is now sought to make changes to the approved hotel building at earl place. The changes are a) change the ground and first floor facade articulation; b) remove 4 bedrooms from the ground floor and increase the restaurant size; c) eliminate the pedestrian connection from hotel to main development at 1st floor level; d) provide an additional bay to levels 5 and 6 and add two additional set back floors at levels 7 and 8 so as to provide a 9 storey building with 37 additional bedrooms; e) alterations to all facades including change of brick colour, adding brick expression on the gable end, and change in articulation of the facade. The revised hotel building (30.995m in height) will have 203 bedrooms with a gross floor area of 9350m2 and will be built within the same footprint of the area permitted to be demolished at 13-15 earl place and approved previously for hotel. The total floor area has increased by 1664m2 from the original planning area. There are no changes proposed to 94 and 95 marlborough street, which will operate as part of the completed hotel containing 10 bedrooms as previously approved
