Development description

For temporary development at the coach park, former north wall freight depot, sheriff street upper, dublin
Part of the site is located within a conservation area. The proposed development site is outside the grand canal and north lotts strategic development zone. The proposed development consists of the continued temporary use for a period of five years (subsequent to extant permission reg. Ref. 3651/15 pl29n. 245861) for accommodation and parking facility for up to 50 private coaches in delineated bus bays on existing concrete hardstand within a site of 1.5 hectares. The development includes (as constructed in accordance with reg. Ref. 3651/15 pl29n. 245861) repairs and minor expansion to the surface of the existing concrete hardstand and provision of single storey portacabin building for security and welfare facility (72m2), together with ancillary lighting, fencing, cctv, vehicle management controls and signage, bus bay line markings and installation of drainage control infrastructure. Included is a de minimis movement of the portacabin 8m north with minor elevation changes. The facility will only permit access to empty private coaches. The coach park will continue to operate as per the existing requirements of condition no. 3 (7am to midnight) of the extant planning permission for the site. It is intended to continue to use the former north wall freight depot as a coach parking facility on a temporary basis until the lands are necessary for the construction of dart underground, for which a railway order has been approved. This application is also subject to a concurrent and inter-related planning application for continued temporary use of an entrance and access road (further to extant permission reg. Ref. Dsdz3650/15) from park lane to the coach parking facility, which is on lands within the grand canal and north lotts strategic development zone
