The construction of a single storey porch extension to the front and two storey extension to the rear and side of existing dwelling.

Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed development is consistent with the 'Z1' residential zoning objective and the design standards for extensions set out in Appendix 18 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028, as it provides a reasonable upgrade to the existing accommodation without significantly impacting the residential amenities of adjacent properties or the visual character of the streetscape.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The residential amenities of adjoining properties are adequately protected, as the extension depths and separation distances (conditioned at 1m for the side) ensure no significant adverse overshadowing, overlooking, or loss of privacy occurs.
