Core Planning Reasoning
The development is recommended for grant as it represents an acceptable height and design for the site, provides an appropriate residential density for this serviced urban location, and protects the residential amenities of adjoining properties while complying with local and national planning policies for compact growth.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed density of 80.8 dpha is considered an appropriate balance for this transitional urban site, effectively contributing to compact growth objectives while remaining compatible with the surrounding residential context.
- The architectural design and building heights (ranging from 1 to 6 storeys) are appropriate for the Sandyford Road streetscape and include adequate stepping down to protect the amenity of established low-rise housing to the north and east.
- Potential impacts on neighboring properties regarding overlooking, overbearing, and overshadowing have been successfully mitigated through the layout revisions submitted at the Further Information stage, specifically the use of single-storey dwellings on sensitive boundary plots.
