Challenge to development on historic Georgian streetscape
Summary
The North Great George's Street Preservation Society has filed a High Court judicial review against An Bord Pleanála's decision to grant planning permission for a co‑living development on Dublin's North Great George's Street. The proposed project, consisting of 132 residential units across three to seven storeys, sits on North Great George's Street and Hill Street and was approved in June with 17 conditions. The Society argues that the area is of historical architectural importance and that nearby buildings are protected structures. It contends that the Board's assessment that the development would not adversely affect the street's character and heritage is unreasonable and that the Board failed to conduct a proper Environmental Impact Assessment or comply with EU directives. The case was heard ex‑parte by Mr Justice Charles Meenan, who directed the Society to apply for permission to bring the challenge in the presence of other parties, and the matter was adjourned to January.
