Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is considered to be in accordance with the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Development Plan 2022-2028, specifically Section 12.8.7.2 regarding boundaries, and would not seriously injure the residential amenity of properties in the vicinity or the character of the streetscape.

- The development will not adversely affect the setting or character of the adjacent protected structure (Summerville) as the boundary treatments are not visible from within the grounds of the protected structure.
