so what ever happened with this. was the develouper punished, don’t you need planning permission to knock things down as well as build them? is there a new planning application for the site?
Whatever you might think about what was done, it was not illegal. Because this office/industrial building was not listed, planning permission was not required for its demolition, only for the building that was to replace it.
Planning permission is required where development takes place. Illogically, Irish planning law does not include demolition of non-listed, non-residential buildings within the definition of what constitutes development. What is needed is no more than a very simple change in the law, a small extension of the definition of development. As with, for example, small house extensions, classes of minor or inconsequential demolition could easily be scheduled by regulation to constitute exempted development. I can see no reason why such a change in the law should add to delays in development or significantly increase costs or overbuden the planning system.
East Wall scheme allowed
COLLEN Group has been granted planning permission for a 28,116 sq m office development at East Wall Road. The proposed development will be in five blocks ranging in height from one storey over ground floor level to five stories over ground floor. The scheme includes 296 car spaces.
