Refusal reasons

Retention refused for a new window to the attic store in the front elevation. The attic is used for domestic storage and roof velux windows already provide sufficient light/ventilation, making the front window unnecessary.

Arklow and Environs Local Plan 2018-2024; Wicklow County Development Plan 2016

need for the window in the front elevation of the dwelling to serve the attic storage is unjustified and unnecessary and contrary to proper planning and development.

2Explicitly excludes retention of the refused attic window.Compliance
3Requires timber only for pilasters, window frames and fascia. Signage must be solid block lettering fixed to fascia or hand painted.Design Materials
