An appeal against a massive Moore Street redevelopment has been delayed due to a backlog of cases.
Dublin City Council granted planning permission to UK property giant Hammerson for twin applications for the redevelopment of a 5.5-acre plot stretching from O’Connell Street to Moore Street. The applications include 79 build-to-rent apartments a hotel, shops, a restaurant, and cafe as well as cultural uses.
The planning permission caused uproar in the local community with Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald also lodging an objection. Others to appeal the scheme include The 1916 Relatives Moore Street Initiative, Relatives of Signatories of the Proclamation, Moore Street Preservation and the Moore Street Traders along with a number of individual third-party appeals.
