Development to amend a previously permitted development, Corballis, Co. Dublin

Planning Permission for development to amend a previously permitted development (Fingal County Council Reg. Ref. F23A/0707) located at these site addresses: Site A - Hotel Site adjoins the T2 Multi-Storey Car Park to the north, Dublin Airport, townland of Corballis, Co. Dublin; Site B - Skybridge House (former TASC Building), Dublin Airport, townland of Collinstown, Co. Dublin; Site C - Site Compound 1 is bounded by the T2 Departure Road to the west and T2 Multi-Storey Car Park to the east, Dublin Airport, townland of Corballis, Co. Dublin; and Site D - Site Compound 2 is located to the east of Swords Rugby Club in the townland of Stockhole, Co. Dublin. The development proposed under the subject application relates specifically to Site A - Hotel Site. The development permitted on Site B, Site C and Site D is unaffected by this planning application. This proposal seeks to, inter alia, make the following alterations to the consented scheme: 1) The scheme consented under planning reference F23A/0707 included a 202 m² space at L02 on the eastern end designated as 'DAA retail'. This unit is accessed from the elevated link connecting T2 to the MSCP car rental centre (which will pass through the hotel once it is completed). This application seeks to change use of this space from 'DAA retail' to 'hotel use' and will now fall within the operation of the hotel. 2) Add a 110 m² elevated external seating terrace/balcony which will be accessed from the unit described in point 1. This will require a minor alteration to the Eastern gable (at L02) to introduce doors to access the seating area. These doors replace fixed glazed curtain walling screens. 3) Condition number 11 of F23A/0707 and also condition 13 of F21A/0255 both relate to the signage on the building. These conditions stipulated that 'signage should not be internally illuminated'. The applicant is seeking permission to internally illuminate all the façade signage. 4) Condition number 14 of F21A/0255 states that external lighting on the development shall be 'deflected downwards'. The applicant is making application to install façade lighting at low level and deflect upwards onto the building. 5) Minor modification to the North façade to add 'SOFITEL' sign at NW corner, high level.
