The proposed modifications to the layout and house types would negatively impact residential and visual amenities, specifically degrading the public open space and pedestrian/cycle route along the Mulharlin Stream due to reduced width and loss of passive surveillance.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed changes to the layout and house types would be injurious to the residential and visual amenities of the future occupants and the surrounding public realm.
- The development would lead to the degradation of the public open space and the pedestrian/cycle route along the Mulharlin Stream by reducing its width and diminishing passive surveillance.
- The proposal is contrary to the Louth County Development Plan 2021-2027, which aims to provide quality living environments and ensure sustainable development of the area.
