Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is considered to be in accordance with the residential zoning 'Objective A', respects the character of the existing dwelling and surrounding streetscape, and does not result in significant adverse impacts on the residential amenities of adjacent properties by way of overlooking, overshadowing, or overbearing appearance.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed extension is acceptable in principle under the 'Objective A' residential zoning and Policy PHP19, which encourages the adaptation and extension of the existing housing stock while protecting residential amenity.
- The development will not result in significant adverse effects on the amenities of adjacent properties as the increase in height and scale is consistent with local precedents, adheres to BRE overshadowing limits, and avoids overlooking via the use of opaque glazing and blank side elevations.
- The proposal represents an appropriate development that complies with the design criteria and standards for side and rear extensions as set out in Chapter 12 of the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Development Plan 2022-2028.
