Dublin City Council has refused planning permission to plans for an 11 storey hotel adjacent to the Harbourmaster Bar in Dublin's Docklands.
In January, Sean Doyle's Harbourmaster Bar Ltd lodged plans for the 96 bedroom hotel with Downey Planning and Architecture.
The Council concluded that the scheme would represent significant overdevelopment of this sensitive site to the rear of the Harbourmaster Pub, a protected structure. It would also adversely impact the amenity, special architectural character and setting of the protected structure and that of the Conservation Area of George's Dock"a grouping of structures which are an important remnant of Dublin’s historic docklands and industrial heritage", it claimed.
In documents lodged on behalf of the applicant, Downey Planning and Architecture told the Council that following recent planning permissions for the area ranging from 10 to 16 storeys in height the proposed 11 storey height for the hotel is well established in the area. The Downey planning report stated that only a few years ago, the subject site was surrounded by derelict and abandoned buildings.
