Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is consistent with the 'Existing Residential/Mixed Residential and Other Uses' zoning objective (ZU 18-9) of the Cork County Development Plan 2022-2028. It respects the pattern and grain of existing development in the Cill Mhuire estate and, following revisions to the house type and ridge height, will not seriously injure the residential or visual amenities of adjoining properties.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The revised design, featuring a single-storey dwelling with attic accommodation and a ridge height of 6.63m, is consistent with the height restrictions of the parent permission and the established character of the serviced site estate.
- The proposed setback of 10.475m from the eastern boundary, combined with the mitigation provided by flush-mounted rooflights, ensures that the development will not result in undue overshadowing or loss of privacy for the appellants' property.
- The proposal is compatible with the planning history of the site, specifically an extant permission (PA Ref. 16/4389), and adheres to proper planning and sustainable development principles for the area.
