Notice is hereby given that Waterford City and County Council propose to carry out the following development work at No’s 3 and 4 Great George’s Street, Waterford City.
In accordance with Part 8, Article 81 of the above Regulations, Waterford City & County Council hereby gives notice of proposals to carry out development and refurbishment works at No’s 3 and 4 Great George’s Street, Waterford, plus access improvements to car parking at the rear of No’s 3 and 4 Great George’s Street, Waterford.
The following buildings are within the development boundary and are included in the Record of Protected Structures (RPS);
No.3 Great George’s Street; Ref. WA730130
No.4 Great George’s Street; Ref. WA730131
Development will consist of two primary work packages:
Refurbishment and Change-of-Use, of No’s 3 and 4 Great George’s Street
Access improvements to car parking at the rear of No’s 3 and 4 Great George’s Street
1. Refurbishment and Change-of-Use, of No’s 3 and 4 Great George’s Street
Proposed development of the former Presbytery buildings, No’s 3 and 4 Great George’s Street, will consist of the proposed Change-of-Use from residential to office-use, with a new additional roof-level extension to include a glazed-facade above parapet level overlooking Great George’s Street, changes to internal layouts, demolition of 2x structures to rear courtyards, and associated site works and works to the adjoining public realm on Great Georges’ Street and to Jenkins Lane car park, to the rear of No’s 3 and 4 Great George’s Street.
Works proposal will include Conservation remedial works to the fabric, as per best Conservation practice, to retain architectural features of the buildings and conservatory to the rear.
The existing five-storey buildings will be converted from residential to office use - the lower ground-floor will accommodate building services and ancillary facilities. Changes to the internal layouts will be undertaken to re-instate original room proportions and to improve accessibility. A new roof-level extension is proposed (380m2), incorporating meeting rooms, an outdoor viewing space and ancillary plant facilities. A new Part M compliant staircase and lift will service all floor-levels. The western stair core will be extended to provide a secondary means of access and escape to and from, the roof-level extension.
A new accessible street level entrance from Great George’s Street is proposed for building users, via No.4.
Existing rear courtyards will be retained and changes to the layout will include demolition of existing ancillary external structures to provide external services and utility spaces.
The upper-garden level will retain its use as a private landscaped space for the building users, with new hard and soft landscaping, seating and planting beds to enhance biodiversity. A new external ramped fire escape deck, linking No.4 to the upper garden-level, is proposed which involves realignment of the boundary wall to the rear.
2. Access improvements to car parking at the rear of No’s 3 and 4 Great George’s Street
Works to the public realm will include removal of the retaining wall and associated steps to the north of the existing car park along Jenkins Lane and the Medieval wall, and their reinstatement with Part M compliant accessible external steps and ramp.
Works will include the removal of 5no. parking bays to provide an accessible ramp and new stepped access adjacent to the realigned section of boundary wall to the rear of No.4. Pedestrian routes will be improved by re-alignment and new hard paved areas. Development will provide 11no. standard parking bays and 1no. accessible parking bay within the development proposals. External works will include relocation of utilities, provision of new public lighting, drainage works and associated site works.
Plans and particulars of the proposed development will be available for inspection or purchase, at a reasonable fee not exceeding the reasonable cost of making a copy, at Waterford City & County Council, Customer Care Desk, Baileys New Street, Waterford between the hours of 9:30am to 4:00pm, Monday to Friday for the period 17th September 2024 – 15th October 2024 inclusive (including Bank and Public Holidays).
