The proposal is for the rejuvenation of the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre, involving the internal reconfiguration and partial redevelopment of the Centre, while maintaining a number of existing retail units and elements of the existing building structure. The proposal will result in a building of up to 8 no. storeys over basement (excluding mezzanines in retail units and basement) with a total gross floor area of 87,932 sq.m., which includes a net reduction of retail floor area to 19,049 sq.m., a net reduction of the existing café/restaurant uses to 1,740 sq.m. of and a net reduction of bar (public house) uses to 789 sq. m. 35,043 sq.m. of offices and ancillary spaces (including existing floor area where retained) are proposed. The overall net increase in GFA over the existing development is 21,419 sq.m. The proposal will include a reconfigured internal mall opening onto St. Stephen's Green providing access to new and existing retail and café/restaurant units at ground and first floor. Retail, café/restaurant and bar (public house) units are provided on the King Street South frontage, and on the St. Stephen's Green West frontage. The proposed development will include 551 no. car parking spaces and 512 no. bicycle parking spaces. This represents a reduction in 138 no. car parking spaces from the number of spaces at present. The proposed development includes all associated works including demolition of existing structures, utilities connections, roof level plant and telecommunications infrastructure, temporary construction works and site hoarding and public realm works.
