Core Refusal Reason
Substandard driveway depth leading to potential footpath obstruction and traffic hazards.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The driveway depth is insufficient to safely accommodate a vehicle within the site boundary, leading to potential over-sailing onto the public footpath.
- The development would create a traffic hazard and cause conflict with pedestrians, obstructing the public right of way.
- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for similar substandard developments that contravene the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.

Decision Document Summary

The restricted space would result in parked vehicles overhanging the public footpath, creating safety risks for pedestrians and traffic, and would establish a negative planning precedent for the surrounding area....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
