Mixed-use scheme approved near Mount Street Upper in Dublin 2

Note: 3D Design Bureau is NOT an agent for the sale or letting of any properties within this development.

An Coimisiún Pleanála has granted permission for a mixed-use development across two sites between James Place East and Mount Street Upper in Dublin 2, following an appeal. The approved scheme includes 26 apartments, office accommodation and a community garden, alongside works to two protected structures.

3D Design Bureau supported the project through planning with a Daylight and Sunlight Assessment, architectural CGIs and verified view montages. These materials helped the project team assess the design and communicate how the proposed buildings would sit within their surroundings, including the nearby Georgian streetscape.

Our daylight and sunlight assessment found that the scheme’s effects are consistent with those expected from appropriate development on a city-centre site. It also examined daylight and sunlight provision for future occupants and the impact on neighbouring commercial properties.

On Plot A, the development will provide two studios, 14 one-bedroom and 10 two-bedroom apartments, together with a small office space. It will incorporate the reconfiguration and conservation of the protected mews building at No. 50 James Place East. The new building will rise to five storeys in part. This height was retained following consideration of a recommendation to reduce it.

Plot B will comprise an office building rising to four storeys, with a set-back roof and plant level. The plans also include alterations to the protected structure at No. 40 Mount Street Upper to improve access, including a platform lift at its main entrance and a new link over the rear courtyard.

The works will involve demolishing an existing office building, rear stores and smaller structures on the two plots. Landscaping, bicycle parking and a community garden are also included. An indoor community space proposed in the original application was removed during the planning process.
