Core Refusal Reason
The proposed two-storey extension is excessive in scale, bulk, and massing, resulting in overbearance and visual dominance that negatively impacts adjoining residential amenity.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The scale, bulk, and massing of the two-storey extension would result in significant overbearance and visual dominance for neighboring properties.
- The proposal is inconsistent with the Z3 zoning objective and Section 16.10.12 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022 concerning residential extensions.
- Granting permission would establish an undesirable precedent for similar developments, contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
