Planning analysis

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

Refusal reasons

Residential Amenity

Scale, height and massing fails to provide appropriate transition in scale to adjoining residences to the south and north-west, severely compromising residential amenity through overshadowing and visual overbearing.

Section 8.3.2 (Transitional Zonal Areas), County Development Plan 2016-2022
The proposal, by reason of its scale, height and massing fails provide an appropriate transition in scale within the rear portion of the site to the adjoining established residences to the south and north-west.
Visual Amenity

Bulk and mass not suitable for location, visually incongruous with surrounding built form and character, particularly when viewed from Mulgrave Street.

Proper planning and sustainable development of the area
The bulk and mass of the proposed development is not deemed suitable at this location and fails to respond to its receiving environment.
