Core Refusal Reason
The proposed extension's design, scale, and massing fail to integrate with the existing bungalow, resulting in a negative impact on the visual amenity of the area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The design, scale, bulk, and massing of the proposed dormer structure and roof treatment fail to integrate with the character of the existing dwelling.
- The development would materially contravene specific objectives of the Fingal County Development Plan 2017-2023 regarding residential extensions.
- The proposal would adversely impact the visual amenities of the area and create an undesirable precedent for similar future developments.
