Planning analysis

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

Refusal reasons

Design

Poor interface with public realm, lack of animation/vitality at corner site, substandard amenity for ground floor units, and overdevelopment.

Policy UD1: Urban Design Principles, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2016-2022

would not provide for animation and vitality at this corner site, and would thereby result in a poor interface with the adjoining public realm in this urban setting

Design

Non-compliance with guidelines regarding the proportion of 2-bedroom 3-person units proposed.

Sustainable Urban Housing - Design Standards for New Apartments Guidelines (2018), Section 3.7

Having regard to the number of 2 bedroom 3 person units, to be provided as part of the proposed apartment development, the proposed development would not be in accordance with Section 3.7

Residential Amenity

Overlooking of neighbouring properties and loss of privacy due to third floor bedroom window and communal walkway serving the scheme.

Section 8.3.2 (Transitional Zonal Areas), County Development Plan 2016-2022

the proposed development would result in overlooking of neighbouring residential properties and consequent loss of privacy to these homes. The proposed development would therefore seriously injure the amenities of the area
