Core Refusal Reason

The proposed development would result in an incongruous form of development by failing to maintain the established front building line on Briarfield Road, thereby injuring the visual amenities of the area and contravening Section 15.13.3 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.

  • The development fails to meet the specific criteria for side garden housing set out in Section 15.13.3 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.
