Dublin City Council has raised concerns about the 'Architectural quality' of the planned €150m redevelopment of Dublin's historic Boland's Mill site.

The development is being backed by NAMA - it plans to restore five of the original mill buildings and to build two office blocks, and a 15 storey residential building.

It is the residential building that has raised the most serious concerns. The Council says that it makes the project look fragmented.

Irish Times report that the council complained that the profile of the roof "bears little relationship to the other two buildings" and that the arrangement of the building's balconies and windows "strikes a discordant note."

The plans were lodged by Mark Reynolds and Glen Crann of Savills in December of last year - Savills now has six months to respond to the council.

The project is one of the largest proposed developments in the capital since the onset of the banking crisis. It would provide almost 30,000sq m of office space and 42 apartments.

It is due to be completed by the end of 2017.
