Located at Saint Patrick’s Street and William Street, Cork City. The proposed works involve the demolition, and reconstruction, of internal and external elements of the existing block at all levels within the curtilage of the existing pattern to form retail shops at ground floor level, with some retail units extending to first floor level (Units 2 and 3). The proposed works include the decommissioning of the existing Savoy Centre and its constituent small internal retail units (currently vacant) and the reconfiguration of the space to form three no. individual retail units all fronting onto and accessed from Saint Patrick’s Street. The development also consists of the change of use of a portion of the Savoy Theatre and former upper retail areas to residential use to accommodate 11 no. apartments. Access to the retail units will be provided off Saint Patrick’s Street. Access to the apartments will be from William Street. These works include, but are not limited to, the removal/relocation of partitions, counters, accommodation stairs, roof terraces and landscaping, reconfiguration of internal units, drainage, bin storage, improvements to the external fabric and lighting along William Street; plant space etc. The proposal constitutes the second phase of the Savoy Redevelopment with phase 1 being permitted under 18/38168. Permission is sought for the above and all associated site development works.

It seems like a pretty stand-up and relatively new apartment building that looks completely empty. I always thought that restaurant had a great setting there, would be good to see it used again. Even if it was starbucks or something that could survive there, to replace the one they left on Patrick street.
