The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.

  1. The subject site is zoned RS Residential with the objective to provide for residential development and protect and improve residential amenity within the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029. The dwelling by virtue of its design and three-storey form, poorly integrates and fails to respect the form and appearance of the surrounding dwellings and is as an incongruous form of development at odds with the visual amenity of the Castleknock Road streetscene. The proposed rear balcony terrace areas at the first and second floor levels will result in significant overlooking and loss of privacy impact on the neighbouring amenities. Furthermore, the proposed single-storey rear projection which forms a sauna, gym and swimming pool by virtue of its excessive depth, proposed height and proximity to the shared east boundary, will result in a significant overbearing and domineering impact on the private amenity serving the neighbouring dwelling. The development will seriously injure the surrounding residential amenities and depreciate the value of properties in the vicinity. As such, the development will materially contravene the RS Residential zoning objective, Section 14.10.1, Objectives SPQHO39, SPQHO42, DMSO31 and Table 14.4 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 and will set an inappropriate precedent for other similar forms of development. The development is therefore contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
