Core Refusal Reason
The removal of public on-street parking to facilitate private vehicular access for a single dwelling is contrary to the Dublin City Development Plan policies.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal conflicts with Policy SMT25 and Appendix 5 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028, which presume against removing on-street parking for private access.
- The development would result in the loss of public parking spaces along Kilmainham Lane to serve a single residential property.
- Granting permission would establish an undesirable precedent for similar developments in predominantly residential areas, contrary to sustainable planning.

Decision Document Summary
The application proposed a new 2.6m wide vehicular access at 8 Camac Terrace, Kilmainham, Dublin 8. The local authority refused permission because the development would necessitate the removal of existing on-street parking spaces on Kilmainham Lane. This loss of public infrastructure for private use violates specific provisions of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 and is considered detrimental to the proper planning and sustainable development of the residential area....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
