Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2000 / July 14 2000: Planners reject major part of Spencer Dock proposal

An Bord Pleanála granted planning permission for a 2,500-seat national conference centre design by Kevin Roche which was the focal point of the massive Spencer Dock scheme - the largest proposed urban development in the history of the State. But planning permission was refused for the rest of the highrise development, which included two hotels, nine office blocks and 11 apartment blocks on the 51-acre site mainly owned by CIÉ, part of the developers' consortium led by Treasury Holdings.
