Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommends that permission and retention be granted but directs the Planning Authority to omit Condition 3 and amend Conditions 2, 5, and 6 to ensure they are reasonable, proportionate, and correctly calculated based on the relevant floor area and existing site services.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- Condition 3 regarding new water/wastewater connection agreements should be omitted as the dwelling has established connections since its construction in the 1970s.
- The financial contribution under Condition 6 was misapplied and should be reduced from €6,792.17 to €2,631.63, as the Planning Authority incorrectly included 32.9sq.m of exempted pre-existing works in its calculation.
- Drainage conditions (2 and 5) require amendment to focus on pragmatic on-site attenuation and compliance with the Greater Dublin Regional Code of Practice, acknowledging the constraints of the existing combined sewer system.
