Planning permission for the following works (a) demolition of garage, (b) construction of two-storey side extension, including modification of existing single-storey side extension, (c) construction of rear attic dormer and attic conversion, (d) forming new pedestrian entrance in the side boundary wall onto Larkfield Gardens, (e) modifications to existing rear lean-to extension, (f) associated site works.
Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended granting permission subject to amended conditions, primarily ensuring the extension is fully integrated with the main dwelling to prevent unauthorized subdivision while permitting contemporary materials for the attic dormer.

- The overall development, as modified by conditions, is consistent with the Z1 zoning objective and the proper planning and sustainable development of the Kimmage area.
