Planning permission is sought by Vicky O'Dwyer for the creation of new shared vehicular and pedestrian access, with gates, in place of the existing pedestrian access to the front of the existing house, including the part removal of existing railing, pillars and wall to the front of the property and the re landscaping of front garden to accommodate a new driveway and parking area, and all associated site works, all at No.59 Eglinton Road, Dublin 4, D04 X5R3.
Core Refusal Reason

- The proposal would seriously injure the residential amenity of the area and set an undesirable precedent for similar developments that reduce the supply of public parking.
