Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is considered to be in accordance with the Z1 zoning objective and general residential extension policies of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028, as the scale, design, and significant setback from the boundary ensure no undue injury to the character of the area or the amenities of adjacent properties.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The significant plot size and the 2.68m setback from the eastern boundary provide sufficient scope for the two-storey extension without it appearing overly dominant or overbearing on the neighboring property.
- Application of the BRE '45 degree rule' indicates that the impact on daylight and sunlight for the adjoining dwelling (No. 106) will not be significant, and the southerly aspect of the garden helps mitigate overshadowing concerns.
- The proposed contemporary porch and reinstatement of the front boundary wall are considered positive contributions to the streetscape and comply with the Planning Authority's technical standards for vehicular entrances.
