Last
month, the retailer along with three other parties, lodged appeals to An Bord
Pleanála against the decision by Dublin City Council to give Ternary Ltd the
planning go-ahead.
The
Kilkenny Group has - for now - put a block on plans by a Goodman family firm to
construct a €100m office block development on Nassau Street in Dublin.
The
proposed project involves the redevelopment of the Setanta Centre and will
create 430 jobs during its construction phase, and will accommodate 1,600
workers when the offices are ready for occupation.
The
Council gave the scheme the go-ahead after the applicants reduced the scale of
the proposal. The planning authority concluded that the development would
integrate satisfactorily with the surrounding development and would not
seriously detract from visual amenities and the area's established character
and pattern of development.
But
the Kilkenny Group houses its flagship Kilkenny Design centre store in the
Setanta Centre and has stated that the plan will have consequences for the 88
full time and 20 seasonal employees at the store and the one million shoppers
who visit the Kilkenny shop every year.
Ternary
has stated that the Kilkenny enterprise is to remain untouched in the
redevelopment of the centre.
The
firm, Setanta Unlimited which owns the site lists beef baron, Larry Goodman and
his son Lawrence Goodman as directors. Lawrence heads up the family's property
interests as well as running his own property development business.
Others
to also appeal the Council decision are property owner at South Frederick
Street, Ciaran McGrath, Trinity Real Estates
and Iput plc.
