Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed modification to the development permitted under Reg. Ref: 2481/19 is considered to provide a reasonable level of residential accommodation, would not significantly impact the residential amenities of adjoining properties, and is consistent with the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 policies regarding infill and mews development.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The principle of infill mews development is acceptable at this location given national and local compact growth goals and the existing permission for a 3-bedroom house on the site.
  • The revised building footprint and increased site area do not result in a cramped appearance or overdevelopment, and the separation distances between the mews and the main terrace houses remain acceptable.
  • Potential impacts regarding overbearing and overshadowing on the adjacent property (No. 4 Newbridge Avenue) are confined to the middle and rear garden areas and are not sufficient to warrant refusal, particularly as no new windows are proposed for the northern elevation.
