Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes overdevelopment of a constrained site, resulting in a substandard level of residential amenity and a negative impact on the character of the existing terrace.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed dwelling constitutes overdevelopment of the site, failing to integrate with the existing terrace and negatively impacting the visual amenity of the area.
- The development provides insufficient private open space for both the new and existing dwellings, contrary to the standards set out in the Limerick Development Plan.
- The proposal would lead to traffic safety concerns and increased on-street parking pressure due to inadequate on-site parking provision.
