Amendments to previously approved scheme ref 2481/19 notably demolition and removal of existing sheds, garden walls to the rear of No. 2 Newbridge Avenue, construction of a 3-bedroom detached flat roof two storey mews house, alterations to existing rear garden wall pedestrian access, landscaping, drainage works and ancillary and associated works.
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.
