Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended a grant of permission because the proposed domestic extension is compatible with the 'Residential' zoning of the area, adheres to the standards set out in the Fingal County Development Plan 2023-2029, and will not significantly injure the residential amenities of adjoining properties through overshadowing or overlooking.

- Technical concerns regarding overshadowing and overlooking were dismissed; site orientation limits shadow casting capacity, and the inclusion of an opaque screen on the boundary provides a minor amenity improvement for neighbors.
- Claims regarding unauthorized basement construction and the potential use of the green roof as a balcony were found to be unsubstantiated, as the 'basement' is an existing storage area and the green roof lacks door access.
