Two objections have been lodged in respect of planning for a new six-storey hotel in Donnybrook, Dublin 4.

Last month Dublin City Council gave permission to Kouchin Holdings to construct a 71-bedroom hotel at Donnybrook Rd and the Cresent, Donnybrook.

The investment firm was seeking planning permission for a 78-bedroom hotel but the number of rooms was then reduced to 71 in response to concerns about the scale of the development.

 The two appellants are Donnybrook Tidy Towns and Paula Murphy.
