Refused
Core Refusal Reason
The proposed two-storey extension and increased ridge height are incompatible with the scale and character of the existing dwelling and the surrounding streetscape, violating development plan standards.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The increase in ridge height and conversion to a two-storey structure contravenes the Dublin City Development Plan (2016-2022) and Appendix 17 guidelines for roof extensions.
- The design is out of character with the scale of the existing dwelling and the established streetscape of Liffey Street South.
- The development would set an undesirable precedent and negatively impact the residential amenities and sustainable development of the area.
