Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is in keeping with the Z1 residential zoning objective, contributes to pedestrian permeability by supporting sustainable travel modes, and is acceptable with regard to road safety, convenience, and the protection of residential and visual amenities.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The facilitation of sustainable travel patterns and pedestrian/cyclist permeability is consistent with local and national policy and represents proper planning for the area.

- The proposal is a minor alteration that complies with the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022 and will not adversely affect the structural integrity of the boundary wall or the residential amenities of the vicinity.
