Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is consistent with the 'A' zoning objective to protect and/or improve residential amenity and, subject to a condition requiring a more subservient roof profile for the side extension, it harmonizes with the unique architectural character of the area protected under SLO 152 without causing significant overshadowing, overlooking, or negative heritage impact.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The principle of a residential extension is acceptable on lands zoned 'A' and the proposal complies with the specific floor area and separation distance standards set out in the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Development Plan 2016-2022.
- The impact on the 'Arts and Crafts' character of Rosary Gardens East (protected by SLO 152) is mitigated by the design's subservience, provided a condition is attached to revise the side extension's pitched roof to a flat roof matching the rear extension to avoid eroding the surviving built integrity of the original roofline.
- No significant negative impacts on the residential amenities of adjacent properties are anticipated, specifically regarding overshadowing, overlooking, or overbearing massing, due to the site's southerly rear aspect and generous plot size.
