Guineys goes for new look in D1IT COULD be the end of an era as Guineys four-storey building on Talbot Street, D1 might be demolished for a seven-storey building with a new look Guineys store and offices.

The owners of the store have applied for planning permission to Dublin City Council for the development at the site at 79-80 Talbot Street which backs on to Beresford Lane. The 3,039sq m (32,711sq ft) scheme would have retail in the basement, ground and first floors, and offices on the second to sixth floor. The scheme provides for three new pedestrian access points off Talbot Street as well as a new pedestrian and access points off Beresford lane.

Cullen, with permission for 27 apartments and 12 houses at Sandymount Castle Park and Gilford Road, D4, wants to add a fifth level to one block with four penthouses and add an extra apartment to the fourth floor.

Sandymount and Merrion Residents Association appealed permission granted by Dublin City Council for the extra units. They are concerned the application is "an attempt to bypass all the conditions of the previous application". The board said that the height and traffic generating movements would be excessive and result in overdevelopment of the site.
