Core Reason for the Refused Part
The proposed additional side entrance was refused due to the loss of on-street parking, the creation of a traffic and pedestrian safety hazard, and the visual impact of the associated 2m high boundary walls.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The additional side entrance would result in an unacceptable reduction of available on-street parking along Carrigmore Place.
- The proposed 2m high boundary walls flanking the side entrance would create a significant hazard for both traffic and pedestrians.
- The side entrance component of the development is considered contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
