Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed development was recommended for grant as it constitutes appropriate urban consolidation and backland densification in accordance with the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 and the Sustainable Residential Development and Compact Settlements Guidelines, without negatively impacting residential amenities or public safety.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The development is acceptable in principle as it contributes to densification and urban consolidation on a serviced backland site in an inner suburban area.

  • The proposal, as modified at the Further Information stage, does not result in significant negative impacts regarding overlooking, overshadowing, or the structural integrity of neighboring properties.
