    440m 13/08/2024 N/A City Block 9 North Wall Quay Dublin 1 Permission for development to construct a two-phase mixed-use residential and commercial scheme, which will consist of: the construction of a residential scheme arranged in 3 No. blocks (identified as Blocks A, B and C) ranging in height from 6 No. to 25 No. storeys over a double-level basement (with ancillary facilities); and an amendment to a previously-permitted 8-storey commercial block (that formed one of the three commercial blocks in permission Reg. Ref. DSDZ5296/22) identified as Block No. 3 over three levels of basement on a site of 1.24ha forming part of a larger site identified as City Block No. 9, North Wall Quay, Dublin 1. The subject site is primarily bounded by: Mayor Street Upper to the north; North Wall Quay to the south; North Wall Avenue to the east; and the residual City Block No. 9 lands of 0.69ha to the west. The Application relates to a proposed development within a Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme area (North Lotts and Grand Canal Dock SDZ). For the purposes of identification, the Applicant references this proposal as Scheme No. 16. The earlier commercial permission (Reg. Ref. DSDZ5296/22), which this proposal seeks to amend in part, is referenced as Scheme No. 9. That commercial permission also included two other commercial blocks (Block Nos. 1 and 2), which are not affected by this proposal. (Block 2 is currently under construction.) (Scheme No. 9 amended earlier permissions: Scheme No. 7 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ2103/21); Scheme No. 6 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ3042/19); Scheme No. 5 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ3780/17); and Scheme No. 4 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ3779/17). Subsequentially, Scheme No. 9 was partially amended in relation to commercial Block No. 2 (only) by two mutually-exclusive Permissions: Scheme No. 10 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ4208/23); and Scheme No. 11 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ4408/23). Scheme No. 11 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ4408/23) was subsequentially amended by Scheme No. 14 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ3552/24).) A previous permission (Scheme No. 7 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ2103/21)) permitted the construction of a three-level basement structure beneath commercial Block Nos. 1, 2 and 3. Scheme No. 9 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ5296/22) permitted a three-level basement beneath commercial Block No. 2 while amending the basement structures beneath Block Nos. 1 and 3, from a single shared three-level basement with Block No. 2 to two separate two-level basements – abutting the three-level basement of Block No. 2. 1) The development will consist of the construction of new build and amendments to earlier permissions (as appropriate, with amendment of Scheme No. 6 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ3042/19) at basement levels; the permitted Commercial Block No. 3 at all levels; the permitted vehicular ramp from North Wall Avenue; and the permitted Commercial Block No. 3 from Scheme No. 9 (Reg.
