Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is considered acceptable in principle under Zoning Objective A and, subject to compliance with the recommended conditions, would not seriously injure the visual or residential amenities of the area, the character of the existing dwelling, or the surrounding property.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed extensions and alterations are acceptable in principle under the 'A' zoning objective of the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028, which seeks to protect and improve residential amenity.

- Potential impacts regarding construction traffic on Knapton Lane and site landscaping can be successfully mitigated through specific planning conditions, including a requirement for a comprehensive landscaping scheme and the repair of any damage to the public lane.
