Core Refusal Reason
The proposed second-floor extension to 116 Coliemore Road is considered visually obtrusive and would fail to enhance the streetscape character of the Dalkey Village Architectural Conservation Area (ACA), thereby contravening Policy Objective HER13 and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed additional storey on 116 Coliemore Road would be visually obtrusive and detrimental to the character of the structure and its setting within the Dalkey Village ACA.
- The design lacks sufficient quality to mitigate its impact on a prominent site that terminates the vista at the eastern end of Castle Street.
- While internal alterations and the restoration of commercial use are generally acceptable, the external physical extension adversely affects the conservation area and is contrary to the County Development Plan.
