Core Refusal Reason
The dormer extension is excessively large, dominant, and incongruous with the area's character, while also contravening previous planning conditions and current development plan standards.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The dormer extension is considered dominant, overbearing, and incongruous with the character of the area due to its excessive scale and bulk.
- The development materially contravenes Section 14.10.2.5 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 and violates a condition of a previous planning permission (Reg. Ref. FW22A/0017).
- Granting retention would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
