Permission for development at this site of c. 0.1276 ha, which comprises part of the garden of 110 Inchicore Road, Kilmainham, Dublin 8, DO8X5R9, located to the rear of 102, 104, 106 and 108 Inchicore Road, Kilmainham, Dublin 8 (Eircodes D08Y57C, DO8K6F9, D08E7P3 and DO8Y9K2, respectively), and the associated laneway between 108 and 110 Inchicore Road, Kilmainham, Dublin 8 (Eircodes DO8Y9K2 and D08X5R9, respectively). The development will consist of the demolition of an existing shed (c. 42 sq m) and the construction of a detached two storey six bedroom dwelling (c. 239 sq m) and associated detached garage (c. 32 sq m). The development will also comprise: hard and soft landscaping including the provision of boundary treatments, gates and fencing where required; associated site servicing (foul and surface water drainage and water supply); and all other site excavation and development works above and below ground.
Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommends granting permission on the basis that the proposal for a single dwelling overcomes previous traffic safety concerns associated with a higher-density scheme on the narrow access laneway, and that the development is consistent with the residential zoning and does not negatively impact the amenities of neighboring properties.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The reduction in scale from a previously refused terrace of five houses to a single dwelling effectively mitigates traffic safety hazards on the narrow (2.43m) access laneway.
- The proposed dwelling will not result in overshadowing or loss of privacy for existing residents due to its position to the north of existing gardens and a separation distance exceeding 30m.
- Potential risks to the adjacent Dublin-Cork railway line can be managed through a required 4m construction setback and proper surface water management.
