Refused

Core Refusal Reason

While the Planning Authority refused permission due to building line encroachment and perceived negative impacts on No. 11 Kilbarrack Road, the Inspector recommends a grant, citing that the infill house represents a robust design response for a restricted site that aligns with national and local compact growth policies without seriously injuring residential amenities.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed infill house represents a robust and innovative design response that effectively utilizes a restricted site in an established urban area.
  • The development complies with national and local policy frameworks promoting compact growth and urban consolidation on serviced residential land.
  • The proposal would not have a serious adverse impact on the residential amenities of adjacent properties or the visual character of the streetscape.
