PROTECTED STRUCTURE: The Law Society of Ireland intends to apply for permission for development at its site comprising 0.46 Hectares being the Greenhall Building (The Law Society Diploma Centre Eircode D07 R81C), within the curtilage of the former Blue Coat School (protected structure RPS no.765) at Blackhall Place, Dublin 7 D07 VY24 and the adjoining shed building, to the south, off Benburb Street (Eircode D07 AEC5), Dublin 7. The proposed development will comprise: 1. Demolition of the existing single storey print facility building and adjacent lean-to-shed (c.93 m²) and the removal of the temporary poly tunnel (c.35 m²) located to the west of the Greenhall building. 2. Demolition of the shed building (c.538 m²) off Benburb Street to the south of the Greenhall building. 3. Alteration works to the existing Greenhall building to provide an enlarged flexible teaching space, additional toilets, lecture room, counselling room and connections to the proposed extension. 4. The construction of a single-storey extension to the west end of the Greenhall building to provide a new secondary entrance and a moot court with judge’s chambers (c.93 m²) with SUDS compliant green roof. 5. The construction of an upper floor extension to the west end of the Greenhall building to provide a lecture room, counselling room and accessible WC (c.126 m²) with SUDS compliant green roof. 6. The construction of a glazed link (c.12 m²) connecting the three-storey extension to the east end of Greenhall building at first-floor level. 7. The construction of a three-storey extension (with local lowering of the ground level by approximately 2.3m) to the south of the Greenhall building to provide 12 tutorial rooms, 2 meeting rooms, a changing-places sanitary facility, with rooftop plant enclosure and roof mounted plant over and roof mounted photovoltaic panels (c.1,134 m²) with SUDS compliant blue roof. 8. The creation of a new entrance plaza to the east of the proposed three storey extension, which involves the removal of a c.11.3m long portion of a boundary wall to create an opening onto the Academic Street to the south of the former Blue Coat School building. The stone removed will be used to build low stone walls around the plaza, topped with metal railings. 9. The replacement of the existing vehicular ramp with a new ramp to provide improved fire tender and delivery access to the rear of Blackhall Place via existing vehicular access from Benburb Street. 10. New gardens and landscaping to the south and west of the building and along the edges of the new vehicular ramp. 11. The construction of cycle parking facilities to the west of the proposed single-storey extension. 12. Upgrading works to the existing tennis court, removal of outdoor gym equipment, hard landscaping and all other repair and refurbishment site development and associated site development works.
