Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended a grant of permission as the proposed development is consistent with the urban consolidation policies of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 and the Sustainable Residential Development and Compact Growth Guidelines, providing a reasonable level of residential accommodation on a brownfield site without significantly impacting the amenities of the surrounding residential conservation area.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The development would not have a significant adverse impact on the existing residential amenities of adjoining properties regarding overshadowing, overlooking, or overbearing impacts.
