Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed development is for infill residential development on land zoned for 'Existing Residential' use within a designated settlement. It is considered to be in accordance with the Meath County Development Plan 2021-2027 and would not seriously injure the amenities of the area or property in the vicinity, provided it complies with specific planning conditions.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The principle of development is acceptable as the site is situated within a designated settlement on land appropriately zoned for residential use and forms the final phase of an established development.

  • The impact on existing residential amenity, specifically regarding overlooking and overshadowing from Unit 69, has been successfully mitigated through design amendments, obscured glazing on gable-end windows, and adequate separation distances.
