Permission is sought by Dr Margaret Hannan for the following works; New gateway to provide vehicular access and provision of 1 no. off street parking space and electric car charging point from Pembroke Park including alterations to existing railings and plinth wall to the front garden and associated site works at No.1 Pembroke Park, Donnybrook, Dublin 4, D04HD74 which is a semi detached house.
Core Refusal Reason
The proposed vehicular entrance would result in the loss of an on-street parking space in an area with high public demand, which is contrary to Policy SMT25 and Section 4.1 of Appendix 5 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.
Decision Maker's Conclusion

- The provision of an in-curtilage EV charging point is not sufficient justification to override the established policy presumption against removing on-street parking spaces.
- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments, which would cumulatively erode the availability of public on-street parking in the area.
