Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended a grant of permission, concluding that the proposed extension and alterations would not detract from the character or setting of the Protected Structure, would not negatively impact the amenities of adjoining properties, and are consistent with the Z2 residential conservation zoning objective.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposal is acceptable in principle under the Z2 zoning objective and the revisions ensure the primacy of the historic building is maintained through significant setbacks.

  • Concerns regarding the party wall and drainage are technical matters that do not warrant refusal, as they can be managed via compliance with specific planning conditions and legal provisions under Section 34(13) of the Planning and Development Act.
