Core Refusal Reason
Material contravention of a previous planning condition requiring a brick finish, resulting in a lower quality finish that detracts from the visual amenities of a Residential Conservation Area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The retention of the render finish materially contravenes Condition 2 of a previous grant (Reg. Ref. 3091/14) which mandated a buff coloured brick finish for all external walls.
- The sand and cement render is of inferior quality compared to the required brickwork and negatively impacts the visual amenities of the surrounding Residential Conservation Area (Zoning Objective Z2).
- The development fails to protect or enhance the character of the area and is contrary to specific policies of the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022 regarding conservation and design.

Decision Document Summary
This application sought the retention of a sand and cement render finish on the side elevations of an existing mews house at 16 Lucky Lane, Stoneybatter. The site is located within a Residential Conservation Area (Z2 zoning). The local authority refused permission because the finish violates a previous planning condition requiring buff brick and is considered to be of lower architectural quality, thereby detracting from the visual character and amenities of the sensitive urban context....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
