Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development is considered visually dominant and overbearing due to its height, scale, and massing, negatively impacting the host dwelling and the surrounding streetscape.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development's height, scale, and massing would result in a visually dominant and overbearing addition to the modest host dwelling.
- The proposal would cause significant harm to the residential amenities of the existing dwelling and the visual character of the streetscene and wider area.
- Granting permission would establish an undesirable precedent and contravene specific objectives and policies of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029.
