Proposed Development
Development Description: Permission for development on a site comprising of numbers 26, 28, 29, 30 and 31 Georges Street, including lands known as Swan Yard to consist of the demolition and clearance of all buildings and structures on site including demolition of 5 houses and a domestic garage and outbuildings associated with Swan Yard. The site is bounded to the east by George's Street, to the south by Trinity Gardens, to the west by the rear gardens of dwellings within Trinity Gardens and to the north by a property fronting George's Street and its associated rear garden. The proposed development consists of construction of a 'Build to Rent' residential development which varies in height from 1-2 storeys along the western and northern boundaries and from 3-7 storeys on Georges Street, comprising 57 no. apartments (6 no. studio, 34 no. 1 bed and 17 no. 2 bed) and communal residents support services and amenities with a central courtyard and car parking area to contain 17 no. car parking spaces. The development also includes the creation of a new vehicular entrance off the local access road to Trinity Gardens to the south of the site including a new footpath and public lighting along the southern site boundary and the creation of a public open space onto Georges Street including footpath widening. This application also provides for an ESB substation, undergrounding of overhead lines where required, landscaping, bin storage, bicycle parking/storage and all associated site development works and boundary treatments. *Significant Further Information submitted 19/11/21 NB for full details please refer to submitted/scanned documentation. Revised documents include alteration of the application site boundary to include the adjoining public footpaths and roads. A recent addition to the record of protected structures Ref: DB 402 - the entrance walls, railings and name plaques at the entrance to Trinity Gardens, the northern section of which fall within the application site has also been addressed. The proposed development has been amended to take cognizance of this change of status and it is now proposed to retain in-situ a section of the northern boundary wall with 'Trinity Gardens' including the name plaque. A further section of the wall will be carefully taken down and rebuilt to the back of a new pedestrian footpath in all its details including the wall. Sections of the wall will be removed to facilitate the vehicular entrance and also to provide two pedestrian entrances*
