Core Reason for the Refused Part
The living room extension is refused because its scale and proximity to the boundary result in an overbearing and intrusive impact on the neighboring property, violating residential amenity and zoning objectives.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The living room extension is considered unduly intrusive and overbearing due to its depth, height, and close proximity to the adjacent property boundary.

- The proposal contravenes the RS zoning objective and specific policies (SPQHP41 and SPQHO45) of the Fingal County Development Plan 2023-2029.
