3832/23
PERMISSION:The proposed application will comprise eight new units on a 0.124-hectare site. This will include the construction of a 3- storey terraced residential development. It shall consist of 4 No. 3-bed apartments with car parking and communal open space at ground floor level and 4 No. 4-bed duplex apartments on the upper floors. All with associated private open space, bike storage, bin storage, and other necessary site works. The overall mass and form of the buildings are like that of the existing properties near the area in terms of design, materiality, and detailed finishes.
Core Refusal Reason
The proposed residential development materially contravenes the Z6 (Employment/Enterprise) zoning objective of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The subject site is located in an area zoned Z6, which is specifically intended to facilitate employment creation and protect enterprise opportunities.
- Residential development is explicitly excluded from the list of uses that are 'permissible' or 'open for consideration' within the Z6 zoning framework.
- Granting permission for the eight units would constitute a material contravention of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.

Decision Document Summary
The proposal sought permission for the development of eight new units on a 0.124-hectare site at 8-16 Annamoe Road, East Cabra. The application was refused by the local authority because the site is situated within a Z6 (Employment/Enterprise) zone. Under the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028, residential use is not a permissible use in this zone, and the proposal was therefore found to be in direct conflict with the objective to protect and provide for employment-related land uses....PDF Document Missing
