Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed 4.3-metre entrance width exceeds the maximum 3.6-metre limit permitted even under exceptional site conditions.
- The retention of the oversized entrance would set an undesirable precedent for similar non-compliant developments in the vicinity.
- The development is contrary to the specific provisions of the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022 and the proper planning of the area.
