- The proposed extensions are subordinate in scale to the existing dwelling and are permissible in principle under the Z1 zoning objective and the River Dodder Conservation Area designation.
- The cantilevered design of the first-floor rear extension preserves the existing private garden space, while the front extension is consistent with recent planning precedents in the immediate terrace.
- Potential impacts regarding overshadowing, loss of amenity, and construction disruption are considered minimal or can be appropriately managed through planning conditions.
