Core Refusal Reason
Substandard parking depth resulting in footpath obstruction and public safety hazards.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The parking area depth is insufficient to accommodate a vehicle safely, leading to an unacceptable overhang onto the public footpath.
- The development endangers public safety by obstructing pedestrians and creates potential vehicular conflict with the adjacent entrance at No. 23.
- The proposal contravenes the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 standards and would set an undesirable precedent for similar substandard developments in the area.

Decision Document Summary
The application sought the permanent retention of a vehicular entrance and parking area at 21 Sandford Avenue, Donnybrook. Dublin City Council refused the proposal because the depth of the parking space is substandard, meaning parked vehicles would likely obstruct the public footpath. This creates a safety risk for pedestrians and interferes with the neighboring property's access, directly violating the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 requirements for safe and adequate off-street parking....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
