Core Refusal Reason
Impact on residential amenity due to visual obtrusiveness and light pollution/spillage.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The 10-meter-high floodlighting columns and lights would cause serious injury to the residential amenities of adjoining properties through visual obtrusiveness.
- The proposal would result in nuisance associated with light over-spill, and the applicant failed to demonstrate compliance with appropriate lighting standards.
- The development is contrary to Policy SI42 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
