Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald has lodged a planning appeal against the third phase of Hammerson’s €500 million transformation plan for Moore Street in Dublin city centre.
Last month 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.
Deputy McDonald has lodged appeals with An Bord Pleanala against both planning permissions and is among nine others who have lodged objections against the scheme. 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.
