Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended that the Planning Authority be directed to amend Condition No. 7, as the proposed loft conversion—including the jerkinhead roof and rear dormer—was found to be acceptable and did not warrant the significant design alterations originally mandated by the Council.

- The Board should use its powers under Section 139 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 to direct the Planning Authority to amend Condition No. 7 to relate only to the approval of external materials and finishes.
