Core Refusal Reason
The proposed granny flat is physically detached from the main dwelling, failing to meet the requirements for ancillary family accommodation under the Dublin City Development Plan.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed detached structure lacks a direct physical connection to the main dwelling as required by the Development Plan.
- Granting permission would establish a poor precedent for similar detached developments on comparable sites within the city.
- The development would negatively impact the residential amenities of the surrounding area and contradicts proper planning principles.
