Property Description

Former Post Office, Commercial Unit To Let, Harold's Cross Road, Dublin 6W
Arkcon Property Services presents this ground floor commercial unit to let at 67 Harold's Cross Road, Dublin 6W.

The Unit
The property is a ground floor commercial unit occupying a prominent position on Harold's Cross Road, with established retail frontage and direct street access. The established planning use is as a post office. The unit is available immediately and is offered in its current condition. Floor area is 25 sqm and full measurements are available on request.

Planning and Change of Use
The property sits within the Harold's Cross urban village, where café and restaurant uses fall within a permissible use class under the Dublin City Development Plan 2022–2028. However, a change of use from the established post office use to a café, restaurant or any other non-retail use requires full planning permission from Dublin City Council. No such permission is currently in place and a grant is not guaranteed.

The landlord will not be contributing to planning costs, professional fees or fit-out costs. Interested parties should factor this into their offer.

Tenant Responsibilities
The incoming tenant will be responsible for, at their own cost:

Preparing, lodging and funding the planning application for change of use, including the appointment of their own planning consultant and architect
Designing and installing a mechanical extract ventilation system routed to roof level, supported by an engineering statement addressing noise, odour and ventilation. Street level extracts will not be accepted. Obtaining a Fire Safety Certificate and Disability Access Certificate prior to the commencement of any works
The complete fit-out of the unit, with all drawings submitted for the landlord's prior written approval
Registering the food business with the HSE Environmental Health Service a minimum of 28 days before opening
Commercial rates, insurance and all outgoings. Rates may be revalued following a change of use
Any separate consents required for signage, shopfront alterations or outdoor seating

A planning decision typically takes three to four months where no further information is requested by the Council, and longer where a request for further information or a third party appeal arises.

Lease Terms
Rent is €35,000 per annum. Lease term and any rent free or fit-out period are to be agreed. The landlord will consider an agreement for lease conditional on the grant of planning permission, subject to a longstop date. Written landlord consent to lodge the planning application will be provided to the agreed tenant.

The Location
Harold's Cross is an established village location approximately 3km from the city centre, positioned on a main radial route with high frequency bus services. The village supports a mix of long standing independent businesses, cafés, pubs and convenience retail, with strong passing trade along Harold's Cross Road. Harold's Cross Park, the Grand Canal and Mount Jerome are all within walking distance, and the area adjoins Rathmines, Rathgar, Terenure and Portobello.

Enquiries
Viewings are strictly by appointment. Please include details of your proposed use, trading history, funding position and whether you have taken planning advice on the proposed change of use.
