Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is considered consistent with the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028, particularly policies regarding urban consolidation and infill development, and would not seriously injure the residential or visual amenities of the area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The principle of residential development is acceptable under the 'Z1' zoning objective and aligns with strategic policies favoring urban consolidation and the densification of suburbs.
- The single-storey design and modest scale ensure that the development will not be overbearing or result in significant overshadowing of adjacent properties, maintaining the character of the streetscape.
- While the private open space falls below the specific 60-70sqm Development Plan requirement, the provided 40sqm is sufficient for a two-bedroom house on a constrained site and exceeds national minimum guidelines.
