Grant Retention & Refuse RetentionPlanning application SD25B/0459W
Dublin - South Dublin County Council
Proposed Development
Retention Planning Permission for (1) an existing side pedestrian entrance/access and (b) Velux windows to non-habitable storage space.(1) An existing side pedestrian entrance/access - it was used originally for material access for the new build. We would like retention of this pedestrian doorway measuring 900mm wide and 2050mm high. Footfall on the path outside is less than 10 people a day as the path comes to a dead end 5 meters after the door and turns onto a busy road. Walkers tend to cross the road at the front corner of the site as its safer and easier (so this doesn't impact safety in any way in my opinion), (see photos attached). We share a front driveway with house number 2 with sometimes 4 cars so use of this pedestrian door for our kids come home and leave safely is very important. We use it for wheelie bin access as there is no room on the right side of the house and the left is shared so is blocked at times and also there are two doors to navigate as its shared with our neighbours. Most importantly, before the door existed, the corner was used for antisocial drinking & other activities and also motorists stopping for urination since the pedestrian door has been put in place all this has stopped(see photo attached). (b) Velux windows to non-habitable storage space we would like to retain these 2 velux windows for the attic space for non-habitable storage use only. It is practically non visible from the public road and is to the back of the roof (see photo attached).
