Core Refusal Reason
The structure's excessive scale and height in close proximity to the site boundary would result in an overbearing impact, seriously injuring the residential amenities of the adjoining property.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The scale and height of the structure, combined with its location near the site boundary, creates an unacceptable overbearing effect on the neighboring property.
- The development would seriously injure the residential amenities of the area and would depreciate the value of property in the vicinity.
- Granting retention would set an undesirable precedent for similar types of development that do not adhere to the standards of the Limerick Development Plan.
