Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed development is consistent with the Z1 residential zoning objective, respects the scale and character of the existing dwelling and the surrounding pattern of development, and would not seriously injure the visual or residential amenities of the area.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

The scale and nature of the proposed extensions are compatible with the site's context and would integrate effectively into the existing streetscape without negatively impacting the character of the area.

The proposal complies with the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028, particularly Appendix 18, and represents the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
