Decision imminent on Stapleton House plan
The Stapleton House development on Oliver Plunkett Street in the city centre was subject of an application in April, which included the change of use of the first, second and third floors from retail to office. Padlake Limited also sought permission to change facades and internal layouts, as well as to retain and complete construction and use of a fourth-floor office on the building which stands on the corner with Smith Street.
A similar application was refused by the council last year and later, also by An Bord Pleanála. A decision was due on the latest proposals by mid-June but more information about ownership of part of the site, proposed signage and ground floor layout was requested. With the response now given, a council decision should be made by August 24.
