Project ‘will have a brutal and disproportionate impact on the local residential environment’
A computer-generated image of the proposed RGRE redevelopment of 1 North Wall Quay in Dublin: Planning consultant John Bird says permission would have a chilling effect on the future provision of much-needed housing in the city.
The scheme involves the demolition of the existing six-storey office building and the development of four buildings in its place, ranging in height from nine to 17 storeys. On behalf of the Clarion Quay Management Company , Mr Bird said: “A precedent would be set so that no resident of the city would feel that their residential amenity would be respected and that no protection would be given to transitional areas.”
As part of the same submission, the secretary of the Clarion Quay Management Company, David Ward, told the council that “we have to say we are shocked by the proposal in its size, scale, but really in the way it has not considered the presence of Clarion Quay and the 300-400 residents”.
