Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to the loss of public on-street parking, the negative impact on a mature street tree, and the adverse effects on the architectural character and setting of a Protected Structure.

- The vehicular entrance and required pavement dishing would negatively impact a mature street tree, contrary to the Dublin Tree Strategy and local amenity protections.
- The proposed alterations to the boundary wall and the loss of soft landscaping would cause irreversible damage to the character, setting, and integrity of the Protected Structure.
