Erection of a block of eight apartments with garaging to replace existing outbuildings

Refusal Reasons

• ✗The proposal to create 8 apartments would represent an over development of the site by reason of: a) the lack of external space and the close proximity to the site boundaries. b) the proposed tandem parking arrangements and limited opportunity for the turning of vehicles considering the restricted size of the site and the lack of provision for on-site parking. c) the height and massing of the apartment block which would dominate the surrounding buildings to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area.
• ✗There would be restricted visibility for residential traffic at the access onto Patrick Street; its use to serve the development would be contrary to the interests of road safety.
