Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to the excessive bulk and overbearing nature of the rear extension and the negative visual impact of the front-facing dormer on the streetscape.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed rear first-floor extension is excessively bulky and overbearing, creating a risk of overlooking and injury to the residential amenity of neighboring properties.

- The development as a whole is contrary to the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028 and would set an undesirable precedent for future development.
