Core Refusal Reason
Inadequate laneway width for safe access by emergency and essential services.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The existing laneway is substandard, restricted, and too narrow to provide safe and convenient access for essential and emergency services.
- The proposal fails to comply with the specific mews access requirements set out in Section 15.13.5.4 and Appendix 5 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.
- The development would create a traffic hazard, endanger public safety, and establish an undesirable precedent for similar unsuitable developments in the vicinity.

Decision Document Summary
The proposal involves the demolition of an industrial shed at the rear of 9 Fontenoy Street, Dublin 7, to facilitate a mews development. The application was refused primarily because the access laneway is too narrow and restricted to accommodate emergency and service vehicles. Consequently, the project violates Dublin City Development Plan standards regarding mews access, poses a risk to public safety, and is deemed contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
