Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is consistent with the 'A' zoning objective for the area, respects the character and scale of the existing period dwelling and streetscape, and would not significantly injure the residential or visual amenities of adjoining properties, subject to conditions regarding glazing and design.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development is acceptable in principle under the 'A' zoning objective and aligns with policies encouraging the modernization and retrofitting of existing housing stock.
- The revised design submitted via Further Information effectively mitigates potential impacts on the residential amenities of the adjoining property (No. 16) in terms of overshadowing and overbearing effects.
- The proposed vehicular access and off-street parking are consistent with the established pattern on Monkstown Road and do not present a risk to road or pedestrian safety.
