Dublin City Council denies planning permission for a seven-storey aparthotel on Thomas Street due to opposition, heritage concerns, and a missing assessment.

Dublin City Council has denied planning permission for a seven-storey aparthotel on Thomas Street, proposed by Welthomas Property Ltd. The 93-bedroom project faced opposition from local residents and Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh, citing concerns about its dominant appearance, negative effects on archaeological heritage, and potential precedent for similar developments. Additionally, the applicant did not provide a required Basement Impact Assessment, violating the Dublin City Development Plan.
