Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes overdevelopment and a substandard design response that fails to respect the character and architectural qualities of the surrounding area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development of five terraced dwellings is considered an unacceptable overdevelopment of the site that provides a substandard design response to the existing and emerging character of the area.
- The project fails to comply with specific Fingal Development Plan objectives and policies regarding contemporary design, infill development, quality placemaking, and urban design.
- Permitting the development would set an undesirable precedent for similarly designed proposals and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
