Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is considered to be in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area as it would not seriously injure the visual amenities of the area or residential amenity of neighbouring properties, and would not adversely impact on the character of the Monkstown Architectural Conservation Area or the setting of the Protected Structure at No. 9 Clifton Terrace.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The design and scale of the proposed side extension and garage are appropriate for the mews lane context and will be shielded from the streetscape by existing high boundary walls, thus preserving the character of the Monkstown Architectural Conservation Area.
- The potential for overlooking and loss of privacy for the adjacent property at No. 10 Clifton Lane is minimal due to the oblique views from proposed windows and the recommendation for obscure glazing in the ensuite bathroom.
- The development is sympathetic to the heritage status of No. 9 Clifton Terrace (a Protected Structure) and accords with the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Development Plan 2016-2022 policies regarding infill and mews development.
