Dublin City Council- Planning permission is sought by Broadfield Development Limited for development at numbers 6/7, part 8, Hagans Court, Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2. The development involves the variation of the planning permission granted on 2nd September 2021 (Reg. Ref. 2391/21) for ‘the demolition of all structures on site and the construction of two no. three storey, 3-bedroom dwellings in its place’. The buildings approved were to have floor area of 166.5 sq.m and 157.3 sq.m. on a site of 182 sq.m. Permission is now sought for buildings of 154.7 sq. m and 157.3 sq.m on a site of 173 sq.m, to the same internal design layout and elevation to the street. The application is the result of a marginal alteration to the size of the site.
Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development fails to meet the minimum private open space standards of 5-8sqm per bedroom required for inner-city dwellings.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed dwellings provide less than the minimum requirement of 5-8sqm of private open space per bedroom as mandated by the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.
- The deficiency in private open space is considered injurious to the residential amenities of future occupants of the development.
- Granting permission would establish an undesirable precedent for similar substandard developments and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
