Refusal reasons

Residential Amenity

The proposed ground floor patio and first floor terrace are substandard in size and location. They fail to meet the 48sq.m. private open space requirement for a 2-bed dwelling and would be in shadow for significant parts of the day, setting a poor precedent.

Section 8.2.8.4 (Private Open Space - Quantity) of the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan, 2016-2022
the proposed open space arrangement would likely be in shadow for significant parts of the day and result in a substandard level of amenity for its future occupants.
