The scheme also involves a first-floor roof terrace to the rear and this will be screened with fencing to ensure no overlooking of the neighbouring home.
Mr Mulcahy states that the previous application for an extension was refused by An Bord Pleanála due to the fact that the site is within an Architectural Conservation Area and the scale, massing and bulk of the proposal, relative to the small scale of the existing dwelling on the prominent corner site, at the end of an historic terrace, was considered to be unacceptable.
In a separate Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment, architect Orna Tubridy states the proposed addition to the home “provides a modern interpretation of the historic 1835 terrace houses and bookends this five-dwelling terrace successfully, while carefully referencing the historical building elements of the terrace”.
