Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is recommended for grant as it constitutes an acceptable form of residential infill and backland development that complies with the 'Objective A' zoning and the standards of the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown Development Plan 2022-2028, without causing undue injury to the character of the area or neighboring residential amenities.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The single-storey height and modest scale of the proposed rear dwelling (Unit 2) ensures that no significant overshadowing or loss of privacy will occur for the residents of Stradbrook Close or the parent dwelling.

- Potential construction-related impacts in the narrow cul-de-sac and technical requirements regarding drainage and vehicular access can be adequately managed through specific planning conditions, including the requirement for a Construction Management Plan.
