Core Planning Reasoning
The development was recommended for grant as it constitutes a sustainable densification of a serviced urban site, is consistent with the Z1 zoning objective, provides an appropriate density of 56 dph, and is designed to integrate with the existing character of the area without causing significant injury to the residential or visual amenities of the neighborhood.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed density of approximately 56 dph is consistent with national guidelines for compact growth and the Dublin City Development Plan's targets for suburban locations.
- The height and scale of the proposed dwellings are compatible with the prevailing character of the area, and separation distances are sufficient to protect adjacent properties from overlooking or overbearing impacts.
- The development represents a more efficient use of serviced land than the existing single-storey dwelling and is acceptable in terms of traffic safety and public health.
