The revised plans have been drawn up as part of an appeal by Mr Waters’s firm, Peachbeach UC, to An Bord Pleanála against the city council’s refusal of planning permission for a 66-bedroom hotel and 23 apartments over six storeys at 15-16 Baggot Street Lower.Merrion Hotel general manager Patrick MacCann told the council the hotel was “strongly objecting” to the scheme as it would have a detrimental impact on the Merrion Hotel’s ability to operate successfully.
“It is a matter of some frustration for the applicant that the planning authority did not exercise this option, particularly given that none of the internal departments within the planning authority recommended refusal,” the appeal states.
