(49 Kildare Street is also known as No. 1 Nassau Street). No. 2 Nassau Street is identified on the record of Protected Structures under RPS Ref. No. 5795. To the north the application site is bounded by Nassau Street itself and the rear of no.'s 3, 4 and 5 Nassau Street. No.'s 3, 4 and 5 Nassau Street are also Protected Structures (RPS Ref.

The proposed development will consist of the demolition, excavation and clearance of 47, 48 and 49 Kildare Street and No. 1 Nassau Street including basements and demolition of the modern twentieth century fourth storey to No. 2 Nassau Street and construction of a new fourth storey in its place (all other floors and basement to No. 2 Nassau Street are being retained). Following the demolition, excavation and site clearance works, the development provides for the construction of a new 5 storey over double basement mixed-use building, with setback incorporating roof terrace at the fifth storey to Kildare Street/Nassau Street. A roof terrace is also proposed at first floor level to the rear (western side) of the proposed building. The proposed development will have a gross floor area of c.2774sq.m. The development provides for ground floor retail/café uses at the corner of Kildare Street/Nassau Street with office use on upper floors and at basement level B1 and plant / tenant facilities at basement level B2 as well as boundary treatments. The main entrance doorway to the proposed building is provided off Kildare Street, with a second entrance doorway provided off Nassau Street. It is also proposed to provide a pedestrian only connection from basement level (B2) to the existing basement car park serving the Setanta Centre. The proposed development also includes internal and external repair, maintenance, upgrade and alterations works No. 2 Nassau Street (RPS Ref. No. 5795), including the refurbishment and upgrade to the existing non-original shop front and windows at first and second floor to Nassau Street. The development also provides for the change of use of the existing ground floor of No. 2 Nassau Street from public house to retail/café and change of use of basement, first and second floors of No. 2 Nassau Street from hotel/pub/nightclub use to office use. The proposed development has been subject to expert Conservation Assessment.
