Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is recommended for a grant of permission as it is considered a modest, compatible addition to the existing dwelling that would not negatively impact residential amenities, cause overshadowing, or result in overlooking, thus adhering to the Z1 zoning objective and proper planning standards.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The first-floor extension is modest in scale (6.1 sqm) and its flat-roof profile is compatible with the character of the existing mid-terrace house.

- The development complies with the design principles for residential extensions outlined in Appendix 18 of the Dublin City Development Plan and represents a reasonable improvement to residential amenity.
