ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note: Your assigned agent shall liaise with Planning Section prior to the preparation and
submission of this Further Information.
The submission should take a coherent account of any issues that overlap/interlink.
Should the Further Information materially/significantly alter the proposed development, you
are obliged to re -advertise same in accordance with Article 35 of the Planning and
Development Regulations 2001 (as amended).
1. On investigation, the conversion of the house into apartments would not appear to
be covered by a grant of planning permission. It is reasonably considered that your
development description should not/cannot refer to same. In addition, the house is
not within the curtilage of a protected structure.
Accordingly, as significant further information under Article 35 of the Planning and
Development Regulations 2001(as amended), please (re)advertise the development
correctly, and submit copies of the site and press notices.
2. In the interests of clarity and appropriate design, please submit a concise report
(separate from the drawings) that details clearly, unit -by -unit, how the development
proposal acceptably complies with the relevant standards set out in the
Departmental publication Sustainable Urban Housing: Design Standards for New
Apartments 2023.
Points of note in this regard include floor space for living areas, bedroom floor areas
and widths, storage space requirements (not including hot presses, boiler spaces,
etc), private amenity space provision, and natural lighting.
As a building refurbishment scheme, any relaxation of the requirements must be
framed in the context of overall design quality, i.e. demonstrate why the overall
design quality would merit a relaxation of the requirement(s).
3. Policy RDP 24 of the County Development Plan 2019-2025 states that development
which has the potential to detrimentally impact on the residential amenity of
properties in the vicinity shall be resisted.
The site is surrounded by existing housing. As per the info submitted, it is
unconfirmed if the (re)development would detrimentally impact on the residential
amenity of the adjacent properties.
Accordingly, please submit further and/or revised details confirming why and how
your development would not impact negatively on the residential amenity of the
adjacent properties.
4. As per Section 15.12 of the County Development Plan 2019-2025 and Sections 4.8
and 4.9 of the Departmental publication Sustainable Urban Housing: Design
Standards for New Apartments 2023, it is unconfirmed that suitable provision has
been made for refuse/waste storage.
Accordingly, please submit further and/or revised details that demonstrate how
provision has acceptably been made for waste storage. Communal bin storage
facilities (satisfying the three -bin system for the collection of mixed dry recyclables,
organic waste and residual waste) should be suitably provided in a well -ventilated
space convenient to the apartments, both in terms of deposit and collection.
Policy LCP 1 of the County Development Plan 2019-2025 requires all planning
applications to include a comprehensive (hard and soft) landscaping plan
commensurate to the scale of development on -site.
Accordingly, please submit a compliant landscaping plan clearly confirming the
nature and extent of all (i) site and curtilage boundary treatments, and (ii) hard and
soft surfacing.
In the interests of clarity and appropriate design, and to allow for fully informed
decision, please submit a Quality Audit for the proposed development, which is to
the satisfaction of Road Design Section — see Section 5.4.2 of the latest version of
the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets (DMURS), available at
www.dmurs.ie.
In the interests of clarity and appropriate design, please submit a commensurate
public lighting plan/design for the site, which accords with the pertaining British and
European Standards and is to the satisfaction of Road Design Section (specifically,
the technician responsible for public lighting).
The information submitted is insufficient with regards environmental protection.
Accordingly, please submit:
(a) A completed Water Protection Plan checklist.
(b) A commensurate site drainage proposal to include an adequately sized and
suitable Class 1 Interceptor(s) to treat surface water arising in carpark area
prior to discharge from the site.
A revised site drainage plan (1:500) demonstrating the following:

(c)
blue).
(ii) Existing and proposed foul water drainage systems (outlined in red).
(iii) All associated discharge points and outfalls.
(iv) Demonstrate proposed location for the adequately sized Class 1
Interceptor(s) and location of outfall(s).
9. In the interest of clarity and to allow for a fully informed decision, please submit
suitable confirmation that you are civilly entitled to access and use the lane/entry to
the rear of the site (where apartment 5 would be accessed from).
