Official record
Development description
Permission to allow short-term and long-term letting of an existing residential unit at 1 inns court, winetavern street, d08w3p3. The application relates to an existing ground floor residential unit within the inns court building with independent access directly from winetavern street and which does not rely on internal communal areas of the building. The residential use of the unit was previously regularised under retention permission granted by dublin city council in 2016 (ref. 2815/16) for the change of use from office to residential. The proposed development relates solely to the operational use of the existing residential unit. No physical works, structural changes, or alterations to the building’s height, footprint or façade are proposed. The internal layout and floor area remain unchanged. The surrounding area is characterised by a mixture of commercial premises, offices, hospitality uses and residential accommodation, with consistent pedestrian activity and traffic movement typical of a city centre location. The proposal is consistent with recent permissions granted for similar short-term and long-term residential use within other units in the inns court building and aligns with the established pattern of use within the development.
