爱尔兰封锁了100万欧元的罗通达医院扩建工程,以解决对遗产的关切。 Ireland blocks €100M Rotunda Hospital expansion over heritage concerns.

爱尔兰的规划上诉委员会阻止了都柏林罗通达医院的1亿欧元扩建, 拒绝了四层重症监护病房的计划, Ireland’s planning appeals board has blocked a €100 million expansion of Dublin’s Rotunda Hospital, rejecting plans for a four-storey critical care wing that would have added 80 beds and a new operating theatre. 该决定推翻了都柏林市议会的批准,指出对格鲁吉亚保护区Parnell广场的历史特性造成重大损害。 The decision, reversing Dublin City Council’s approval, cited significant harm to the historic character of Parnell Square, a Georgian conservation area. 委员会发现，该开发将损害建筑完整性，改变受保护视野，并不可逆转地影响遗产地，尤其是在政府计划将医院迁至布兰查德斯敦康诺利医院的情况下。 The board found the development would damage architectural integrity, alter protected views, and irreversibly impact the heritage site, especially given the government’s plan to relocate the hospital to Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown. 尽管承认需要改善对产妇和新生儿的护理,委员会还是完成了该项目对遗产的影响超过其公共利益。 Despite acknowledging the need for improved maternity and neonatal care, the commission concluded the project’s impact on heritage outweighed its public benefit. 医院领导层表示失望,对病人护理面临风险和费用增加提出警告。 Hospital leadership expressed disappointment, warning of risks to patient care and increased costs.
