Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development provides for good quality infill residential accommodation on a serviced site within the existing footprint of Cork City, adhering to the zoning objectives and infill policies of the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028, and would not significantly injure the residential or visual amenities of the area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed infill dwelling is consistent with the 'ZO-01 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods' zoning objective and National/Local policy supporting compact growth on urban serviced lands.
- The design successfully addresses previous refusal concerns regarding building line and overdevelopment, ensuring minimal overshadowing and maintaining the character of the existing streetscape.
- The development exceeds minimum standards for internal configuration and private open space, and with the relocation of a first-floor window, it will not negatively impact the residential amenities of adjoining properties.
