Permission granted for €900 Million ‘Dublin Central’ Scheme
An Bord Pleanala today granted permission for the €900m shopping centre development on Dublin's O'Connell St., the site of the former Carlton Cinema. The 800,000 square foot development, called Dublin Central, is to be completed by 2016, and will be anchored by a new John Lewis department store.
The development will rise to a total of six storeys. Buildings at Nos 14-17 Moore St are to be preserved, and a commemorative centre will be built. The facade of the Carlton cinema will be moved but other building facades on O'Connell St will be retained in their original places.
The Planning permission covers a total of 83 retail units, 14 cafés and 22 apartments, as well as 700 car parking spaces.
