Company proposed 43ft high barrier to reopen beer garden on Camden Street
Now, in a comprehensive rejection of the scheme, the Council has stated that the sound barrier would create an unacceptably high, solid barrier in an inappropriate material and would seriously injure the architectural character, setting, special interest and amenity of protected structures within the area.
The Council also concluded that the sound barrier “would create an unwelcome precedent for such an unsympathetic intervention”. One of those to object was Naoise McNally and her husband, well known Trinity College Dublin economist Dr Ronan Lyons, have two small children attending the D2 Creche and Montessori next door to the hotel.
Ms McNally said today: “We are really pleased with the decision. It is great that the council took on board the concerns of the parents but also the residents and business owners of the consequences that a grant of permission for the wall would have unleashed.”The mother of three said: “The enormous scale and its proximity to the creche would have made it really oppressive for the children at the creche and if [it] had come to fruition would have made for a prison-like atmosphere there.
Ms McNally said: “Childcare in this city is very difficult to come by and such high quality childcare should not be compromised for outdoor drinking for people when we have plenty of that in the city.”
