Plan for six-storey building at the site of Limerick hotel
AN ARTIST'S impression reveals what a six-storey building at the site of the South Court Hotel in Limerick - if granted planning - will look like.
Can2 Investments Limited, set up in January, 2016, have applied to Limerick City and County Council for planning permission at the site of the South Court Hotel in Raheen.
The plans include the partial demolition of 1,895 sqm of a building currently in use as the South Court Hotel and the construction of a six-storey, two basement, mixed-use development on a 0.935 hectare (2.31 acre) site.
It comprises 104 residential apartments divided into 51 one-bedroom apartments, 49 two-bed apartments and four three-bed apartments.
A childcare facility and a dedicated secure open space are included in the plans, as well as a gym and a library for residents.
Two retail units are also part of the large-scale development. There is a proposed direct connection between the South Court Hotel and the mixed-use development through a new one storey and basement “hotel link” to include hotel reception, café and seating area, commercial kitchen, staff welfare facilities and an extension to the existing Cream Room Bar.
Communal open space, play equipment and road upgrades to the existing site entrance and footpath improvements are also included in the plans.
A Natura Impact Statement has been prepared in respect of the proposed development.
