An Taisce planning chief told his AirBnB style plan seriously injures 'internationally significant' building

This follows An Bord Pleanála refusing planning permission to An Taisce's Heritage Officer, Ian Lumley and builder, Patrick Wigglesworth to convert the lower ground floor of their property at 3 Henrietta Street, Dublin into three short term lease studio apartments.
