The Inspector recommended a grant of permission, concluding that the development is consistent with the Z1 zoning objective of the Dublin City Development Plan and would not significantly injure the residential or visual amenities of the area, provided specific mitigation conditions are implemented.

• The principle of the proposed residential extension is acceptable under the land use zoning objective for the area and adheres to indicative standards for plot ratio and site coverage.
• The proposed development will not result in significant adverse impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties through overlooking or overshadowing, subject to conditions requiring opaque glazing and setbacks from the boundary.
• The design is considered subordinate and appropriate for its context, as it is largely obscured from the public domain and follows the established pattern of two-storey rear insertions in the surrounding terrace group.
