Proposed Development

Permission for development at this site comprising Lansdowne Place, Lansdowne Road and Shelbourne Road, Dublin 4 and the Ballsbridge Hotel, Pembroke Road, Dublin 4. The proposed development comprises the construction of a new boundary treatment between the existing Lansdowne Place development and the existing adjacent hotel comprising a low wall with railing c.2.4m in height overall, so as to define the boundary of the separate Lansdowne Place development on a site of 1.25Ha. The development also comprises the closure of all basement level links constructed in the Lansdowne Place development between the existing Lansdowne Place development and the adjoining hotel site. The effect of this development is to make Lansdowne Place a standalone development on 1.25Ha, and to sever Lansdowne Place from the remaining part of the overall site permitted under Reg. Ref. 4015/09 (An Bord Pleanála Ref. PL29S.237454), unless/until permission has been granted for the redevelopment of the existing hotel site. The development being proposed is thereby an amendment to Dublin City Council Reg. Ref. 4015/09 (An Bord Pleanála Ref. PL29S.237454) - the parent permission', as extended by Reg. Ref. 4015/09/X1, as revised by subsequent permissions, Dublin City Council Reg.

For clarity, the proposed amendments stemming from this application will not alter any of the residential units at Lansdowne Place permitted under Dublin City Council Reg. Ref. 4015/09 (An Bord Pleanála Ref. PL29S.237454), as amended; all on an overall site of 2.98Ha.
