Mr Cleary is the owner of The Temple Bar in Temple Bar and the appeals board has refused planning permission to Mr Cleary’s Chambers Properties Ltd for a 47-bedroom hotel facing on to Dame Street and Eustace Street as a planned roof extension of the scheme “would be an overly dominant and obtrusive form of development”.
However, the appeals board ruled that the roof extension was of excessive height, scale, and massing and would be injurious to the character and appearance of the host building, which is of heritage value, the visual amenity of the surrounding conservation area, and the streetscape on Dame street.
