Core Refusal Reason

Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The demolition of a late nineteenth-century dwelling with intact architectural features violates the general presumption against demolition in Architectural Conservation Areas as set out in the 2022-2028 Dublin City Development Plan.

- The development would undermine the site's zoning objective, depreciate the value of property in the vicinity, and conflict with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
