Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development would contravene the 'Open Space and Recreation' zoning objective of the Limerick Development Plan 2022-2028.
- The loss of this public open space would negatively impact the residential amenity of existing residents in Deel Court and set an undesirable precedent.
- The proposed layout is considered cramped and out of character with the established pattern of development in the vicinity.
