Core Refusal Reason
The proposed driveway development was refused due to insufficient depth causing potential footpath obstruction, excessive width, and negative impact on the streetscape character.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The driveway depth is insufficient to accommodate a vehicle without it potentially oversailing the public footpath and causing an obstruction.
- The proposed width of the driveway is considered excessive and contrary to the design standards set out in the Dublin City Development Plan.
- The development would detract from the character of the streetscape and set an undesirable precedent for similar substandard developments in the area.
