Core Refusal Reason
The proposal for a secondary vehicular entrance was deemed excessive, creating traffic hazards, reducing on-street parking, and negatively impacting the visual character and residential amenity of the area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The secondary access is considered excessive and would endanger public safety by creating traffic hazards and obstructing pedestrians.
- The removal of on-street parking to accommodate a private entrance contravenes development plan policies and reduces convenience for other road users.
- The additional opening would harm the visual character of the dwelling and streetscape, setting an undesirable precedent for similar developments.

Decision Document Summary
The applicant sought permission for a new 3.0m wide vehicular entrance at 114 Ashington Rise, Dublin 7. Dublin City Council refused the application because the site is already served by an existing entrance, making a second access unnecessary and hazardous to traffic and pedestrians. Furthermore, the loss of on-street parking and the negative impact on the visual amenity and character of the residential streetscape were cited as being contrary to the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
