Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is consistent with the MTC land-use zoning objective, would not seriously injure the residential or visual amenities of the area, and respects the architectural heritage of the protected structure, thereby representing the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed amendments, including the rooftop play area and vertical extensions for stair and lift cores, are acceptable in principle and do not significantly exacerbate impacts on residential amenity regarding noise or overshadowing when compared to the permitted baseline.
- Visual impacts of the additional height are mitigated by setbacks from the building edge and sloped roof designs, ensuring that the character of the protected former fire station façade and the surrounding townscape is preserved.
- The development complies with the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028 policies for school development on constrained urban sites and facilitates necessary physical and recreational facilities for students.
