Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended granting permission because the development is consistent with the residential zoning objective 'A', provides for an appropriate form and scale of infill development that integrates with the established character of the area, and does not negatively impact the residential amenities of neighboring properties.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed two-storey flat-roofed dwelling is an acceptable design response to a narrow infill site and comfortably exceeds minimum internal floor area requirements set out in national guidelines.

- Disputes regarding the width of the Right of Way and site boundaries are noted as civil matters or matters of legal title that do not preclude the granting of planning permission under Section 34(13) of the Planning and Development Act 2000.
