Three years after first submitting plans for a hotel on a prominent disused site opposite Wexford Bridge, brothers Colm and Anthony Neville of CoAnt Developments have been given the green light to construct the landmark building.
Wexford County Council has granted planning permission with conditions for the hotel with penthouse apartments and an underground car park at Commercial Quay after recently asking the developers to scale back the project and submit a revised design.
After reviewing the altered plans, senior planners have approved the revised design of the hotel which will be part five, seven and eight storey, fronting onto Commercial Quay with retail units and restaurants at Charlotte Street, 10 residential units with balconies on the upper levels, 133 bedrooms on the second, third and fourth floors and 105 car parking spaces at basement and ground floor level.
