3822/21
Planning permission is sought to change previously approved house (ABP-307815-20 and WEB1182/20) from single to two storey detached house by adding first floor extension to provide one additional bedroom, bathroom and service area and the construction of one detached garage 9.46 metres to the East side of previously approved single storey house together with associated site and drainage works to rear of number 45 Belgrove Road.
Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is considered consistent with the Z1 residential zoning objective, the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022, and national policy for compact urban growth, as it provides high-quality infill housing without significantly injuring the residential amenities of the area through overlooking or overbearing impacts.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The principle of residential development is established on-site and aligns with policy objectives to promote sustainable development on underutilised infill sites.

- Potential impacts regarding privacy and overlooking are effectively mitigated through a combination of separation distances, opaque glazing conditions, and the specific architectural design involving a curved roof and louvre structures.
