  Change of use of The Earl Building, Earl Street North and Earl Place, Dublin 1 from approved (but not yet occupied) offices to Health Clinic containing Maternal Outpatients Department, Paediatric Outpatients Department medical consultants suites and other adult outpatients care services for the Rotunda Hospital (presently carried out within the Rotunda campus). The proposed change of use involves a ground level entrance foyer from Earl Place and use of upper floors (first to fifth floor levels). The basement facilities (bike storage, changing room, showers, boiler room, storage and sprinkler tanks) will now service the Health Clinic rather that the approved offices. (The total change of use area will be 3754 sq.m). The proposal includes modifications to internal layouts and fitout and new LED illuminated signage at entrance level at Earl Place. An increased area for additional plant is proposed at roof level to ensure the building complies with a high energy rating.
