Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development would negatively impact the character and setting of a Protected Structure, contravening architectural conservation principles and Objective HCAP12 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development would negatively affect the character and setting of the early 19th-century detached villa, which is a Protected Structure (Ref 0934).
- The proposal materially contravenes Objective HCAP12 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029, which requires interventions to be sympathetic and sensitive to the special interest of Protected Structures.
- Granting permission would establish an undesirable precedent for similar developments and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
