Core Refusal Reason
The proposed extension's height, scale, and design would negatively impact the residential amenity of neighboring properties through dominance, overshadowing, and overlooking.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development's height and scale would cause dominance, overbearance, and overshadowing of the private open space to the north.
- The design would result in direct overlooking of properties to the south, compromising their privacy.
- The proposal materially contravenes Objective PM46 of the Fingal Development Plan 2017-2023 regarding sensitive design for extensions.
