Dublin residents appeal embassy plan for Burlington Road premises

A group of south Dublin residents is opposing plans by developer, Johnny Ronan to change the status of his Burlington Road premises from residential to embassy use.

The Upper Leeson Street Area Residents’ Association (ULSARA) is appealing a recent decision by Dublin City Council to approve the plan.

However, the council did refuse Mr Ronan’s RGRE Embassy Ltd permission to change the use of an existing mews building, at the site, from residential to live/work status (which the firm has appealed to An Bord Pleanála).
