Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The development is recommended for grant as it constitutes a sustainable intensification of an existing residential site that, as amended by further information, is in keeping with the character of the area and complies with the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 standards for extensions and residential amenity.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed development, following revisions that reduced the eaves height and provided a 1.5m first-floor setback, is subservient to the host dwelling and maintains the residential character of Hazelbrook Road.
  • The extension and dormer roof alterations comply with the qualitative and quantitative standards of Appendix 18 of the Dublin City Development Plan, ensuring over 50% of private open space is retained and room sizes meet minimum requirements.
  • There are no significant impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties in terms of overshadowing, overlooking, or overbearing appearance, particularly given the southerly orientation and existing pattern of development in the vicinity.
