An Taisce is opposing a mixed-use development with a high rise tower in the Liberties because it says it would have a negative impact on the Guinness Storehouse. An Taisce has appealed planning permission granted to developer Frank Flynn for a mixed-use development at the junction of Bellevue and School Street and adjacent to the Guinness Hopstore. It would comprise around 80 apartments in three blocks rising to nine storeys and a 12-storey tower and would involve the demolition of a school on School Street. The rear yard of the Hopstore building would also be upgraded as part of the development and a footpath at Bellevue widened to create a new plaza.
