Demolition of no. 11 Booterstown avenue, outbuildings and associated walls

Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended a grant of permission as the development aligns with the 'Objective A' zoning to provide for residential development, protects the architectural heritage of the candidate Architectural Conservation Area through refurbishment rather than demolition of key buildings, and does not negatively impact the visual or residential amenities of the area, subject to the omission of a proposed pedestrian laneway.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed residential use is compatible with the 'Objective A' zoning and the prevailing residential character of the surrounding area.
  • The design approach, focusing on the refurbishment of historic structures at 13A-C and a sensitively scaled mews house, successfully addresses previous concerns regarding architectural heritage and the candidate Architectural Conservation Area.
  • Potential adverse impacts on the privacy of neighboring residents on Grotto Avenue can be effectively mitigated by a condition requiring the complete omission of the proposed pedestrian laneway from the development scheme.
