Core Refusal Reason
The widened vehicular entrance exceeds the maximum permitted width of 3.5m as specified in the County Development Plan, posing a traffic hazard.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The 3.7m width of the vehicular entrance exceeds the maximum standards permitted for a single residential dwelling under the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028.
- The development as constructed is considered a danger to public safety due to the creation of a traffic hazard.
- Granting retention would set an undesirable precedent for similar non-compliant developments, contradicting the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

The refusal is grounded in concerns that the oversized entrance creates a traffic hazard and would establish a negative planning precedent for the surrounding residential area....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
