Core Refusal Reason
The development constitutes haphazard overdevelopment that fails to meet standards for residential amenity, parking, and family flat requirements.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development represents an ad hoc and haphazard overdevelopment of the site that is incongruous with the established pattern of development in the area.
- The proposal provides substandard residential amenity and parking arrangements, failing to comply with multiple development management objectives of the Fingal Development Plan.
- The development fails to meet the specific criteria for family flats and would set an undesirable precedent that conflicts with the RS zoning objective to protect and improve residential amenity.
