revisions to previously approved planning permission (WEB1778/23) Revisions include (1) removal of 2 No. dormers to front/side and installation of 1 No. dormer to side and 2 No.rooflights to front/side (2) demolition of existing extension to side circa 12.5sqm & construction of new Utility space circa 17.5sqm (3) Widening of existing Vehicular access, (4) minor elevational alterations and all associated site works.
Core Reason for the Refused Part
The widening of the vehicular entrance from 3.0m to 3.6m was refused because it would result in the loss of a formal on-street 'pay and display' car parking space and risk damage to an adjacent street tree, which is contrary to Policy SMT25 and Appendix 5 of the Dublin City Development Plan.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The side dormer extension is acceptable in scale, massing, and design; it is set below the eaves and will not negatively impact residential amenity as it is unglazed, preventing overlooking.
- Widening the vehicular access to 3.6m would result in the loss of a public 'pay and display' parking space, which contravenes the Development Plan's presumption against removing on-street parking for single-dwelling entrances.
- The proposed works to the entrance pose an unacceptable risk to a mature street tree which enhances the character of Greenfield Park, failing to comply with the Dublin Tree Strategy and related development standards.
