Architect with the firm, Garrett O’Neill told the council that “local social media laments the loss of hotels including the St Lawrence Hotel, Royal Hotel, Sutton Castle, Howth Lodge and, in the more distant past, the Waverly Hotel. Currently, the Booking.com website lists only one B&B and one Guest House on Howth Head”.
He contended that “the proposed mix of long established public house use with the traditionally complementary accommodation function, could not be more appropriate to this sea-side location”. Ms Lambert said: “This is a quiet residential area and the current proposal is unprecedented and wholly out of character with a quiet residential area.”P&L Rickard of Dunbo Hill, Howth told the council that the proposal is “out of scale” “oversized” and “nondescript”.
