PERMISSION for development to the rear of 31 Chelmsford Avenue, Ranelagh, Dublin 6, D06 CX70. The proposed development will consist of the construction of a new single storey one bedroom mews type dwelling (49.2m2) facing onto Chelmsford Avenue in rear garden of no. 31 Chelmsford Avenue, connection to existing drainage and surface water, a relocated side access gate, new boundary wall and all associated site works.
Refused
Core Refusal Reason
Overdevelopment of a restricted site due to inadequate private open space and excessive site coverage.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal provides insufficient private open space for both the existing residence at no. 31 and the proposed mews dwelling, resulting in overdevelopment.
- The development would result in substandard residential amenity for future occupants and set an undesirable precedent for similar developments in a Z2 zoned area.
- The project conflicts with Section 15.11.3 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 and would likely devalue property in the vicinity.
