Core Refusal Reason
The proposed dormer extensions are visually dominant, overbearing, and incongruous, contravening specific Fingal Development Plan policies regarding roof design and residential character.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The dormer roof extensions are deemed overbearing and dominant relative to the main dwelling's roof slope.
- The proposal materially contravenes specific design standards and objectives of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029.
- Granting permission would establish an undesirable precedent for similar developments and would be contrary to the area's proper planning and sustainable development.
