The development will consist of the provision of a 3.5m wide vehicular entrance

Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed development is consistent with the 'Objective A' residential zoning, complies with technical standards for vehicular entrances and hardstanding areas set out in the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan, and will not adversely affect traffic safety or the residential character of the area.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The provision of a vehicular entrance and off-street parking space is acceptable in principle within this residential zone and accords with the pattern of development in the area.
  • The proposed design meets the minimum dimensional requirements for parking spaces (5.5m depth and 3m width) and maintains sufficient private amenity space to the rear.
  • Physical constraints, including an adjacent electricity pole and a mature tree, are adequately managed within the design and do not pose a hazard to traffic or pedestrian safety.
