Foster + Partners’ plans for the £118m redevelopment of rock band U2’s Clarence hotel in Dublin have been approved, despite protest from conservation groups and recommendations from planning officers that the plans be rejected.

The Clarence has a thirties facade, which will be retained, and an art deco interior, which will be demolished. Foster’s design includes a glass structure on the roof and an atrium.
