Core Planning Reasoning

The development is consistent with the Z2 zoning objective of the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022 and, subject to conditions including a reduction in parapet height and improved boundary treatments, will not seriously injure the residential or visual amenities of the adjoining properties or the architectural character of the conservation area.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed single-storey extension, particularly with the applicant's voluntary reduction of the parapet height to 3.43 metres, does not result in an unacceptable overbearing impact or loss of light for neighboring properties.
  • Concerns regarding overlooking from ground-floor windows are considered marginal but can be fully addressed by a condition requiring the construction of a two-metre high block wall on the southern party boundary.
  • The proposed attic conversion and dormer window are acceptable as they do not provide direct overlooking of private amenity spaces and the external finishes, specifically light-coloured brick, are appropriate for the context.
