Court challenge to permission for 18-storey tower beside Royal Hospital Kilmainham

An impression from planning documents of how the new development will look from the gardens of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.A challenge has been initiated in the High Court aimed at overturning permission for a build-to-rent apartment scheme that includes an 18-storey tower beside the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.

The applicants point to concerns raised by a series of heritage bodies, including the Office of Public Works, the Heritage Council and An Taisce, about the development’s potential impact on the former hospital, which is now the Irish Museum of Modern Art, and its gardens. An Bord Pleanála’s handling of concerns flagged by various heritage organisations was “completely inadequate”, Mr Leech submits. He is also concerned about the “paucity of expertise” of the board’s inspector when this type of development requires the “most intricate design”.
