Dublin City Council has begun a legal challenge against An Bord Pleanála for allowing extra building height in a development in the city
Spencer Place Development Company wants to increase the maximum height to 13 storeys for two residential blocks beside Sheriff Street in the north city although it is part of a Strategic Development Zone which only permits ten storeys.
When Dublin City Council informed Spencer Place Development that this would be in breach of SDZ regulations, the company took an unsuccessful High Court challenge with its case being dismissed on all counts last May. In its decision the board said as there are draft amendments proposed for the SDZ it considered the development "broadly compliant".
