Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended a grant of permission as the electronic gates are modest in nature, serve an existing residential entrance, and will not seriously injure residential amenity or give rise to traffic hazard or congestion.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development is a modest alteration to an existing, long-established gated entrance and does not lead to an intensification of use or significant traffic impact.

- The retention of the gates is consistent with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area and complies with the relevant provisions of the South Dublin County Development Plan 2022-2028.
