Note: Your assigned agent shall liaise with Planning Section prior to the preparation and

The submission should take a coherent account of any issues that overlap/interlink.

The Planning Authority notes that Uisce Éireann have confirmed that public wastewater
infrastructure is available and that connection to same is feasible.
The applicant is requested to submit revised proposals providing for the connection of the
proposed development to the public wastewater collection network, including a revised site
layout plan and all associated details and/or documentation.
The Planning Authority considers that utilisation of the available public wastewater
infrastructure represents the most sustainable servicing solution for the proposed
development.
2.
In the interests of clarity and appropriate design, please submit a concise report (separate
from the drawings) that details clearly, unit-by-unit, how the development proposal
acceptably complies with the relevant standards set out in the Departmental publication
Sustainable Urban Housing: Design Standards for New Apartments 2025.
Points of note in this regard include floor space for living areas, bedroom floor areas and
widths, storage space requirements (not including hot presses, boiler spaces, etc), private and
communal amenity space provision, and natural lighting.
Please also submit revised floor plans, colour coded to clearly identify each apartment unit,
with all internal doors, circulation routes, storage areas and room functions clearly identified.
As a building refurbishment scheme, any relaxation of the requirements must be framed in the
context of overall design quality, i.e. demonstrate why the overall design quality would merit a
relaxation of the requirement(s).
