Planning analysis

Refusal reasons and planning conditions extracted from the public decision file.

Refusal reasons

Design

Proposal would be overly dominant and visually overbearing on a prominent corner site, materially changing the streetscape and setting a poor precedent for similar development.

Section 8.2.3.4(v) Corner/Side Garden Sites; Development Plan policies on visual amenity and residential character
proposal would appear overly dominant and detract from the character of the existing streetscape
Residential Amenity

Insufficient separation distances and poor layout result in loss of privacy for adjacent properties and substandard amenity space for future residents.

Section 8.2.8.4 Private Open Space; privacy standards
substandard open space arrangement which would result in a poor level of amenity for future residents
Traffic Sightlines

Deficient car parking and unsafe vehicular access would endanger public safety and obstruct road users.

Section 8.2.4.9 Vehicular Entrances; Clause 4 Fourth Schedule Planning and Development Act 2000
vehicles entering Dwelling No. 2 would not be able to exit in a forward gear... potential to endanger public safety by reason of a traffic hazard
