41 Saint Fintan's Villas, Deansgrange, Deansgrange, Co. Dublin, A94TW63

The development includes refurbishment of the existing two-storey dwelling (Unit 1), with a new single-storey rear extension, upgraded finishes, and provision of 3 bedrooms, garden space (85 sqm), and parking. A new single-storey, 3-bedroom detached dwelling (Unit 2) is proposed to the rear, measuring approx. 119 sqm, with a pitched/flat roof design, private open space (160 sqm), garden, and parking. Access will be via a shared driveway for Unit 1 and a gated driveway for Unit 2, with a 4.3m width to accommodate vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians safely. Landscaping, boundary treatments, and drainage works are included, along with the removal of 8 low-quality or unviable trees and protection measures for remaining trees. The design responds to a previous refusal for 4 units by retaining the existing dwelling, reducing density, and ensuring better integration with surrounding properties in St. Fintan's Villas. The subject property is zoned 'Existing residential' under the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022 - 2028.
