10-storey block for Spencer Dock:Spencer Dock Development Company, a subsidiary of Treasury Holdings, is to lodge a planning application with Dublin City Council for a 10-storey office block at Spencer Dock, Dublin 1.
If it gets the go-ahead, the building would be 51.5 metres high with 66,000sq m (710,417sq ft) of space above basement level.
Treasury is looking to include 12 retail units at ground level with a total of 4,375sq m (47,092sq ft). There would be nearly 44,500sq m (479,000sq ft) of offices while a 75sq m (807sq ft) coffee dock and an informal seating area are proposed for the ground floor foyer. The proposal includes 220 car-parking spaces and 348 bicycle spaces in two basement levels. Vehicular access would be from new North South Road.
Bord rejects Lucan park and ride
An Bord Pleanála has refused a planning application by South Dublin County Council for a park and ride facility in Lucan, Co Dublin, adjoining the Lucan/Leixlip slip road. The council wants to provide parking for 1,000 cars in two phases but An Bord Pleanála ruled against it saying that the land is in the Liffey Valley high amenity area and is zoned "to protect and improve high amenity area" under the development plan.
The board says its use as a park and ride facility would contravene the zoning while the development plan seeks to have the lands brought into public ownership as the Liffey Valley national park. In its ruling the planning board also says the development's environmental impact statement acknowledged the development would have a significant negative impact on goals for the park.
