Core Refusal Reason
The proposed garden shed was refused due to its excessive scale, massing, and footprint, which failed to remain subservient to the main dwelling and negatively impacted residential amenity.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development's excessive massing and footprint result in a structure that is not modest or subservient to the primary residence.

- The proposal is contrary to the standards set out in Section 12.3.7.4 of the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028.
