Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is considered consistent with the established residential pattern of the area, respects the scale and design of the existing dwelling, and will not negatively impact the visual or residential amenities of the vicinity or the surrounding landscape.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed alterations are relatively minor in nature, do not increase the ridge height of the dwelling, and integrate well with the existing permitted development on-site.

- The proposal complies with the provisions of the operative County Development Plan and represents sustainable development within the existing development boundary of Courtmacsherry.
