Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended a grant of permission, concluding that the modification of the previously permitted shared entrance into individual access points would not create a traffic hazard, would provide a unified design approach for the adjoining dwellings, and complies with the Fingal County Development Plan 2023-2029.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal is essentially a modification of a permitted entrance layout and does not result in the creation of an entirely new access point or an intensification of traffic movements.
- The revised entrance design, following a request for further information, ensures a consistent and unified boundary treatment for both the applicant's site and the adjoining dwelling to the south.
- The development is acceptable in terms of traffic safety and convenience, as sightline visibility is satisfactory and the Transportation Planning Section of the planning authority raised no objections to the final form of the proposal.
