Core Refusal Reason
Traffic hazard and non-compliance with development plan standards regarding entrance width and impermeable surfacing.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The vehicular entrance creates a traffic hazard and endangers pedestrian safety due to its location on a corner with restricted sightlines and hazardous maneuvering.
- The 4.45m width of the entrance exceeds the maximum permissible standards set out in the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.
- The provision of large areas of impermeable paving is contrary to sustainable drainage standards and would set an undesirable precedent for the area.
