The combined bar, restaurant and ancillary rooms will have an area of approximately 312 sqm in total in addition to the existing 1 bed apartment of 78sq.m at second floor in no. 42 and the proposed studio apartment of 37.5 sq.m. in Fownes Street.

PROTECTED STRUCTURE: Permission for development Nos. 43-44 Temple Bar (The Temple Bar Trading Company) which is partially internally linked to Nos. 47-48 Temple Bar and Nos. 14-16 Temple Lane South (The Temple Bar Pub), Dublin 2. No. 48 Temple Bar is a protected structure, however no works are proposed at or adjacent to no. 48 Temple Bar. The development which is proposed within nos. 43-44 Temple Bar will principally consist of the change of use from ancillary back-of-house retail storage room to ancillary public house preparation area (11.5 sq m), including the replacement of a 1.5 metre length of internal connecting wall with a preparatory counter. This proposed application will supersede the partially implanted permission granted under DCC Reg. Ref. 4715/18, which principally proposed the provision of a ground floor accessible WC (implemented); and the change of use (90 sq. m) of the rear of the first floor of nos. 43-44 temple Bar from ancillary retail storage to public house toilets and cleaner's store (not implemented). In this regard, the preciously proposed stair core at ground to first floor level ancillary public house space is now replaced with the proposed preparatory area, with the first floor level retaining its existing retail use.
