Core Reason for the Refused Part
The proposed dormer extension was refused due to its excessive bulk, scale, and design, which would dominate the rear elevation and contravene the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development's excessive bulk and scale would dominate the rear elevation of the subject property.
- The proposal materially contravenes Section 14.10.2.5 and Objective SPQHO45 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029, as well as the 'RS' residential zoning objective.
- Permitting the development would set an inappropriate precedent for similar developments and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
