Planning application received: Extension of Duration for Planning Ref. No. 20/457: the demolition of 3 no. warehousing/industrial/office buildings and

Limerick County Council has received a planning application seeking to extend the duration of a previous permission affecting a significant site on Dock Road and Saint Alphonsus Street in the city.

The extension relates to planning reference 20/457, which originally granted permission for the demolition of three warehousing, industrial, and office buildings. The structures targeted for removal cover a combined gross floor area of 4,145 square metres and vary between one and three storeys in height, along with associated outbuildings.

The scheme also involves a change of use for an existing single storey office building, which is designated as a Protected Structure under reference number 260. This building is proposed to be converted into a café or coffee facility, representing a new commercial use for the premises.

Such extension of duration applications are typically submitted where developers need additional time to commence works or progress a project beyond the original timeframe allowed under planning law. The council will assess whether the extension should be granted based on planning considerations relevant to the site and surrounding area.

Further details on this application can be obtained from Limerick County Council's planning department or by consulting the council's planning register.
