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

Refusal reasons

Density

Excessive scale, bulk and height for a modest mews infill house to a laneway. Would set an undesirable precedent for similarly scaled development along the laneway.

Section 8.2.3.4(x) 'Mews Lane Development' of the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan, 2016-2022
the proposed development is excessive in terms of scale, and would not be considered to be a modest mews infill house to a laneway
Visual Amenity

Second floor vaulted zinc roof design, scale and height inappropriate within the setting. Visually overbearing on the laneway and adjoining sites. Negatively impacts visual amenities of the ACA and Protected Structures.

Section 8.2.3.4(x) Mews Lane Development; ACA and Protected Structure policies
would appear visually overbearing on the laneway and as viewed from the directly adjoining sites... seriously injure the visual amenities and depreciate the value of property in the vicinity
