## Proposal

The proposed development comprises a reduction in the permitted floor area of Block D (c.33.5 sq m at Undercroft Car Park Level and c.53.5 sq m at each level from permitted Ground to permitted Fourth Floor levels (resulting in the removal of some 301 sq m). (Due to the reconfiguration of part of the permitted building, the proposed development will result in the provision of 63 No. two-bedroom apartments and 15 No. one-bedroom apartments. (66 No. two-bedroom apartments and 12 No. one-bed apartments are permitted under Application Reg. Ref. D15A/0385 (An Bord Pleanala Ref. ABP300194-17).

The Application also seeks to decouple those lands and other Council-owned lands from the site area to facilitate potential future revised applications not reliant on the Local Authority's agreement to include such lands. this would result in two landholdings of c.0.98 and c.4.315 ha from the original c.5.295 hectares as shown on Tom Phillips + Associates Drawing No. 2019-BP-1897-002 that forms part of the Application.
