Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The development is recommended for grant as it is consistent with the Z1 zoning objective, integrates well with the existing pattern of development in the area (including established ridge line increases on neighboring properties), and does not significantly impact the residential or visual amenities of adjacent properties.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

The proposed increase in ridge height and rear dormer are considered subordinate additions that facilitate modern living standards within a constrained footprint without negatively impacting the character of Daniel Street.

The development complies with the Z1 zoning objective of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 and is in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
