Core Planning Reasoning
The development, as modified by condition to include a subservient flat roof on the rear extension, is considered acceptable in principle under the 'A' residential zoning and would not seriously injure the visual or residential amenities of the area or surrounding properties.

- The original hipped roof design for the rear extension lacked subservience and risked undue overshadowing of neighboring properties (No. 25 and No. 29).
- With the omission of the rear hipped roof via condition, the proposal complies with the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028 and constitutes proper planning and sustainable development.
