the proposed Development that consists of; 1) partial Change of Use from Office to Community Support Services managed by the Society of the St. Vincent de Paul and (2) works to the building including relocation of entrance door to lane, conversion of existing entrance door to partially glazed screen, internal reconfiguration, fabric repairs, replacement of roof finish, replacement of external windows and doors, installation of rooflights and services penetrations, installation of lift, replacement of building services generally, external plant area at roof level, photovoltaic panels to rear slope of roof and all ancillary works associated with the development. The building is a Protected Structure RPS. 3147. The Mechanics Institute building is owned by the Limerick Mechanics’ Institute Delegate Board. Part of the building was previously in regular use as the Constituency Office of local Labour Party T.D.s but this use has ceased. The Limerick Mechanics’ Institute Delegate Board maintain a presence in the building with archive, library and offices as well as general purpose hall but the building is only used occasionally and is generally under-utilised. The SVP has operated a Drop-In Centre to the rear of Ozanam House since 2002 but has insufficient space to properly support the range of services they offer. The location of the Mechanics Institute building directly adjacent to Ozanam House renders the building an excellent opportunity to accommodate elements of the Drop-In Centre. The Limerick Mechanics’ Institute Delegate Board supports the proposal but also want to retain a presence in the building due to its historical connection with the building. This Planning Application is for partial Change of Use of the building for those parts of the building that the SVP propose to occupy and from which it will offer community support services. The Planning Application is also for repair works, reconfiguration works and renovation works all associated with the proposal. The Mechanics Building is a Protected Structure and located in an Architectural Conservation Area. The Planning Application is supported by an Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment (AHIA) prepared by Michael Pledge Conservation Architects
