The proposed development consisting of the demolition of an existing single storey garage on back lane to rear of 39 Tritonville Road and the construction of a new 2-storey, 3 bedroom flat roofed mews house with roof lights, 1 no. off-street car parking space, bin & bicycle storage, private court yard garden to front, rear garden and new 2.1m tall boundary wall with retained garden to the rear.

Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended a grant of permission as the proposal for a mews dwelling on Z2-zoned lands constitutes an appropriate form of residential infill development that is consistent with the character of the area and the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 standards.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The design, scale, and height of the proposed mews house are consistent with the existing character of the laneway and will not negatively impact the residential or visual amenities of the conservation area.
  • The Planning Authority's condition requiring the developer to upgrade a private laneway outside their ownership/control was incorrectly imposed according to Development Management Guidelines, as it requires works on land not under the applicant's control.
  • The proposed development is acceptable in principle as it supports compact growth and infill development in a serviced urban area, with sufficient legal interest demonstrated for the application to proceed.
