Planning permission granted for boutique hotel in Dungarvan

Planning permission granted for boutique hotel in Dungarvan

Planning permission has been granted for another new hotel in Dungarvan.

The application for the site on Parnell Street/Main Street was submitted at the end of November last.

The development will include a 16-bed boutique hotel over three floors, with a stepped extension at the back which would be two, three, and four storeys high.

That extension will accommodate another 13 bedrooms.

Number 12, Parnell Street, is the site and, as it's a protected building, the application specified that the existing shop front would be refurbished.

One of the conditions imposed by Waterford City and County Council also specifies that the original fabric be repaired and retained.

The shop is currently home to Jane Casey Florist and the building dates from about 1830, but was renovated in the 1850s, when the shopfront was inserted.

Bowe, White and Nugent Limited, who applied for the planning permission for the hotel, also requested permission to demolish buildings to the rear of the shop.

The decision to grant conditional permission was issued the planners on the 19th of January.

It comes just a month after the green light was given for a new 40-bed hotel on Davitt's Quay.
