Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended granting permission as the development is consistent with the residential zoning 'Objective A' of the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028, is modestly proportioned, subservient to the host dwelling, and does not seriously injure the character or residential amenities of the surrounding area.

  • The proposed conversion of attic space for office and storage use remains compatible with residential zoning, as it is intended for domestic use and not commercial or short-term letting.
