Core Planning Reasoning

The proposal is consistent with the Z2 residential zoning and Policy BHA14 promoting mews development; it is considered that the development would not seriously injure the residential amenities of the area or the character of the adjacent Protected Structure.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The principle of the mews development is acceptable under the operative Dublin City Development Plan and aligns with the Z2 zoning objective to protect and improve the amenities of residential conservation areas.

  • The scale, massing, and height of the dwelling are appropriate for the lane and will not have a significant overbearing or overshadowing impact on neighboring properties or the character of the nearby Protected Structures.
