Core Refusal Reason
Substandard residential amenity due to internal overlooking and excessive scale of proposed dormer extensions.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed sub-division would result in significant overlooking from the first-floor living quarters and balcony into the ground-floor amenity area, creating a substandard level of residential amenity for future occupants.
- The scale and form of the modified and extended dormer structures are considered excessive and visually dominant relative to the north and south roof slopes.
- The development would be injurious to the residential amenities of the area, depreciate the value of adjoining properties, and set an undesirable precedent for similar developments in the vicinity.

These issues were found to be in direct conflict with the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development...SOURCE PDFOpen Original
