PERMISSION We, Klairon Construction Limited, intend to apply for planning permission for amendments to the residential development, permitted under Reg. Ref.: 2800/20 / ABP Ref.: 309742-21, as amended by Reg. Ref.: 3420/22 / ABP Ref.: 314220-22 and Reg. Ref.: 3649/23 / ABP Ref.: 317485-23, at Sandymount Place, Sandymount Avenue, Sandymount, Dublin 4. The site is bound to the west and north by the grounds of Enable Ireland Sandymount Centre; to the east by residential properties along Gilford Road and Sandymount Avenue and to the south by Sandymount Avenue. The site is partially located within the Sandymount Avenue Architectural Conservation Area. The proposed amendments to the permitted development consist of the replacement of 4 no. permitted units (4 no. 2 bed units) at fourth floor level of residential Block A.01 with 2 no. 3 bed apartment units. This results in a decrease in 2 no. apartments. The proposal includes associated alterations to the elevations and the provision of private amenity space for the proposed apartments, and all associated development. No change is proposed to the permitted Block A.02 and Block A.03, residential amenity building or car and cycle parking numbers. The permitted development (under Reg. Ref.: 2800/20 / ABP Ref.: 309742-21, as amended by Reg. Ref.: 3420/22 / ABP Ref.: 314220-22 and Reg. Ref.: 3649/23 / ABP Ref.: 317485-23) is for 69 no. apartments and the proposed amendments would result in the overall decrease to 67 no. apartments.
