LAW: PROTECTED STRUCTURE: Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended) - Part 8 Pursuant to the requirements of the above, notice is hereby given of the proposed amendment of approved Part 8 application under Reg.Ref. 3196/19 to facilitate necessary upgrades and alterations to Hugh Lane Gallery, a Protected Structure (RPS no. 6382). Dublin City Council has proposed the construction of a new link connecting the Hugh Lane Gallery and New Library, and the relocation of the Energy Contre for the Hugh Lane Gallery into the combined Energy Centre for the overall Parnell Cultural Quarter. The proposed amendments to the permitted scheme involve omission of previously approved acoustic enclosure to plant at roof level of Francis Beacon Studio and relocation of plant area to New Parnell Library. Proposed variations to the consented scheme will also involve the formation of a new roof area to rear of east curved wing as a means of environmentally controlled staff access and extension of service outlets above. Additional works to which this application relates are described on a level-by-level basis as follows: Basement Level: Removal of two no. windows previously facing the service alley to the south of the 1930's Wing above the basement and associated slab/ wall removal to facilitate the extension of basement male and female bathrooms to meet WC provision requirements and adapt ceilings of basement rooms below new link to accommodate construction. Ground Floor Level: The constuction of a new link connection between the New Library and the former Harry Clark room (now referred to as Link Lobby) and associated circulation space. The proposed works to facilitate the connection also include the removal and alteration to existing Male, Female and Accessible WCs including internal partitions, tiling and replacement with new built bathrooms and associated services. Alteration to existing openings and doorways to facilitate the creation of new window and door openings to facilitate improved access and connectivity between the reception room and the 2006 wing. Roof Level: Extension of consented roof over Lobby 2 space and relocate services to new roof level and installation of new roofing membrane above the proposed new link and a small section of the 1930s wing roof. Alteration to permitted plant under Reg.Ref. 3196/19 as described above. Planning permission is also sought for all associated site and development works to facilitate the implementation of the permission. The proposal has undergone Appropriate Assessment Screening in accordance with Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and screening for environmental Impact Assessment under the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU, as amended by Directive 2014/52/EU. In accordance with Article 81 of the Planning & Development Regulations 2001, as amended, the Planning Authority has made a determination and concluded that: (a) The proposed development, either individually or in combination with other plans and projects, is not likely to have a significant effect on any European site(s) and therefore a Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment is not required. (b) There is no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed development and that the proposed development is not of class set out under Schedule 5 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001, as amended, and therefore does not require an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR). Any person may, within 4 weeks from the date of publication of this notice, apply to An Bord Pleanala for a screening determination as to whether the development would be likely to have significant effects on the environment. Plans and Particulars of the proposed development may be inspected or purchased at a fee not exceeding the reasonable cost of making a copy for a period of 4 weeks from 27/09/2024, during public opening hours at the offices of Dublin City Council, Public Counter, Planning and Property Development Department, Block 4, Ground Floor, Civic Offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 8, Monday-Friday 9.00am to 4.30pm.
