Core Refusal Reason
The proposed extension is considered excessively bulky and visually obtrusive, leading to overdevelopment and a material contravention of the County Development Plan.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The extension's height, scale, and massing would result in an excessively bulky and visually obtrusive appearance, particularly when viewed from Ballinteer Avenue.

- The development would materially contravene Section 12.3.7.1 of the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022–2028 and set an undesirable precedent for similar development.
