Aviva has officially submitted a planning application to Dublin City Council (DCC) for a new mixed-use development on Merrion Row, Dublin 2.
Let us help you secure planning!
The proposed scheme will involve the demolition of an existing building and an adjacent two-storey structure. This will make way for a new part 4 and 5-storey building that will house retail and restaurant spaces, along with an office reception. The outlined plans also detail the restoration and change of use of an existing building on the site.
Currently housing a restaurant, residential units, and a wine bar, the space will be transformed to feature three two-storey residential townhouses, each with direct access from Merrion Court.
If approved, the scheme will also feature bicycle storage facilities, electric vehicle charging stations at the ground floor level, and additional storage units.
The new mixed-use development, if approved, boasts a prime location on Dublin’s south side, offering easy access to iconic city landmarks such as St. Stephen’s Green Park, Grafton Street, and Trinity College. Looking ahead, the Merrion Row project is set to substantially gain from the much-awaited MetroLink rail project, which will include a station at St. Stephen’s Green East.
MetroLink originally proposed in 2005, is poised to significantly enhance the city’s public transportation network, by developing 16 stations connecting Swords to Charlemont terminating less than 300M from this proposed site.
As CGI consultants, 3D Design Bureau collaborated with the design team to craft both Presentation Photomontages and technical Verified View Montages (VVM). These visual solutions were an integral part of the planning application submitted to Dublin City Council.
Verified View Montages (VVM) are technically accurate images of a proposed development from various locations in the vicinity of a proposed development. They aid local authorities in evaluating the potential visual impact the proposed development may have on its surrounding environment.
Presentation Photomontages are similar in nature but with artistic licences afforded to them in their creation. They showcase a development from a close-up perspective and provide a vivid representation of the development. The ones produced for this project, in particular, showcase the Merrion Row scheme during nighttime hours.
