Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The proposal was recommended for a grant of permission as it constitutes a suitable high-density residential development on zoned land in an urban center, located in close proximity to high-capacity public transport, which aligns with national policies for compact growth and sustainable urban development.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The development is consistent with the 'RS - Residential' and 'TC - Town and District Centre' zoning objectives of the Fingal County Development Plan 2023-2029 and complies with national guidelines for high-density infill development.

  • Technical requirements regarding water supply, wastewater, and surface water management are met, and the reduced car parking provision is justified by the site's proximity to Clonsilla train station and planned public transport upgrades.
