PROTECTED STRUCTURE: the development will consist of demolition of the existing 9.1m2 single storey extension at ground floor level at the rear of the house, construction of a new 13.8m2 single storey extension at ground floor level at the rear of the house, lowering the sill level of the existing window in the rear reception room at ground floor level to form a doorway into the proposed new extension, creation of a new opening at ground floor level in the north wall of the existing return at the rear of the house to connect the proposed new extension, creation of a new window opening at ground floor level in the rear facade of the existing return, demolition of the existing 2.75m2 single storey lean to outhouse in the rear garden, construction of a new 1.5m2 single storey outhouse in the rear garden and ancillary works including repair of the render finish at the rear of the house.
Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended granting permission and amending Condition No. 3, concluding that the proposed rear extension and modifications would not negatively impact the character, integrity, or visual amenity of the Protected Structure or the surrounding conservation area, as the works are not visible from the streetscape.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed works at the rear of the house are not visible from the streetscape and therefore have no implications for the character or integrity of the front facade of the Protected Structure.

- The development is in general compliance with the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 policy, specifically Policy BHA2, and the appeal should be dealt with under Section 139 of the 2000 Act to amend the disputed condition.
