Core Reason for the Refused Part
While the Planning Authority issued a split decision refusing the front dormer and bay window modifications as 'out of character,' the Inspector recommends granting full permission, concluding that the works are of an appropriate scale and design that integrate satisfactorily with the existing dwelling and the surrounding area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed dormer extension and fenestration changes would integrate satisfactorily with the existing dwelling and would not be visually incongruous within the mixed architectural context of the locale.

- The proposal is in accordance with the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028 and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
