Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to the loss of public on-street parking and inadequate driveway depth, which would lead to footpath obstruction and conflict with Dublin City Development Plan standards.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The removal of on-street parking to facilitate a private entrance would negatively impact residential amenity and road user convenience while setting an undesirable precedent.
- The proposed parking footprint fails to meet the minimum 5.0m depth requirement, resulting in insufficient space to accommodate a vehicle without overhanging the public footpath.
- The development is contrary to the transport and mobility technical requirements of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 and the proper planning of the area.
