Johnny Ronan contests council’s rejection of docklands scheme

An artist's impression of the proposed Johnny Ronan scheme for Dublin's docklands. Mr Ronan’s RGRE is contesting Dublin City Council’s comprehensive rejection of its planned 17-storey, mixed-use development.

Mr Ronan is seeking permission for the redevelopment of global banking giant Citigroup’s current European headquarters at 1 North Wall Quay. Planning consultants for RGRE, John Spain & Associates, said that an oral hearing in this instance will assist further in the provision “of a comprehensive understanding of the proposed development in the relevant planning context and the potential impacts and benefits of the proposal”.

The applicants are seeking a 10-year planning permission “due to the complexities around the delivery of a building and the current impacts on the supply chain being experienced by the construction industry”. The letter said that it appeared that the city council did not engage in any analysis or consideration of the “exceptional circumstance” and whether such criteria is being met by the proposed development.
