Core Refusal Reason
The development was refused due to inaccurate documentation, traffic safety hazards caused by restricted visibility, and the obstruction of protected views in contravention of the County Development Plan.
Decision Maker's Conclusion

- The 1.55m high boundary treatment interferes with designated protected views and violates specific visual amenity policies and standards set out in the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028.
