Core Refusal Reason
The proposed dwelling's siting forward of the established building line and its excessive scale at a prominent corner location would be visually obtrusive and contrary to development plan standards for corner and infill sites.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The siting of the proposed dwelling forward of the established building line on Kilmacud Avenue is considered visually obtrusive and incongruous with the existing streetscape.
- The design, height, and scale of the proposal at this prominent corner location would result in a negative impact on the receiving environment.
- The development fails to comply with specific County Development Plan provisions regarding corner and infill sites, thereby setting an undesirable precedent for similar developments.
