Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is considered an acceptable form of infill development on residentially zoned land that would not seriously injure the amenities of the area or of property in the vicinity, and is consistent with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area as per the Limerick Development Plan 2022-2028.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed dwelling is an appropriate infill development located within the development boundary of Limerick City on lands zoned 'Existing Residential'.

- No Appropriate Assessment or Environmental Impact Assessment issues arise as the proposal is unlikely to have significant effects on the environment or any European sites.
