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

  1. Having regard to the character of the area and the pattern of development which occurs adjacent to the site, it is considered that, by reason of its scale, design, height, and the extent of site coverage, the proposed dwelling would represent the overdevelopment of a small, restrictive and physically constrained urban site, which would be out of character with the surrounding development and would have an overbearing impact on adjoining dwellings that would detract from their residential amenity. Furthermore, the proposed development fails to meet the minimum standards as set out within the Quality Housing for Sustainable Communities – Best Practice Guidelines for Delivering Homes, Sustainable Communities (2007) Ministerial Guidelines, in addition to the provision of deficient private amenity space standards, as set out in the Guidelines on Sustainable Residential Development. The proposed development does not provide an acceptable standard of residential amenity for future residents. Therefore, the proposed development represents a substandard form of development that would seriously injure the amenities of the area and of adjoining properties, would be inconsistent with Objective ZU 18-9: Existing Residential/Mixed Residential and Other Uses of the Cork County Development Plan 2022 and would, therefore, be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
