Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to unacceptably low residential density in a high-accessibility area and the adverse impact of the revised layout on the setting and curtilage of a Protected Structure.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The reduction in dwelling units results in an unacceptably low density for a site located within 1km of Dalkey village and Dart station, violating compact growth policies.
- The revised layout encroaches upon the permitted park/shared garden area, negatively impacting the visual relationship and open views to and from the Protected Structure, 'Ardfallen'.
- The development would set an undesirable precedent for similar low-density and insensitive modifications within the curtilage of protected structures.
