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

Refusal reasons

Visual Amenity

Dormer extensions significantly exceed ridge height, creating an overly dominant and visually intrusive feature incongruous with the established area character.

Objective DMS41, Fingal Development Plan 2017-2023
The proposed dormer extensions to the front and rear roof slopes would exceed the height of the existing ridge of the dwelling significantly and would result in an overly dominant feature within the roof space, would be visually intrusive within the surrounding context and would represent an incongruous form of development within the established character of the area.
Residential Amenity

Constrained site and limited rear separation distance would cause undue overlooking, seriously injuring residential amenities of adjoining properties.

RS Zoning Objective
Having regard to the constrained nature of the subject site and limited separation distance to the rear boundary, the development would be seriously injurious to the residential amenities of the adjoining and adjacent properties by way of undue over-looking
