Development description

Protected structure: permission:to construct a new single-storey-over-basement dwelling unit at the rear of no. 11 charleville road, rathmines, dublin 6, d06 y2r0. The unit will comprise two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and living area, hall toilet and two external private courtyard spaces, one at basement level and one at ground level, enclosed by solid full-height walls. The building will have a maximum height of 3.15 metres above ground level and will contain a total internal floor area of 114 sq. M. , distributed over two levels, while the two private open spaces will comprise a total of 46 sq. M. All windows will be internal to the site and no windows will face outwards from the site. Existing mixed brickwork and blockwork masonry walls to the garden will be retained and the proposed new garden wall to the south of the dwelling will be of drystone construction. No undermining or underpinning of existing boundary walls is occasioned by this proposal, and a method statement for these works accompanies this application. Pedestrian access will be provided from charleville road via a two-metre-wide passageway along the eastern boundary of the site. A new opening will be made in the existing front boundary wall, similar to the existing entrances on charleville road, with railings and a pedestrian gate, which will be constructed of ironwork to match exactly the original railings. The site is within the curtilage of a protected structure at no. 11 charleville road. No alterations are proposed to the existing protected structure itself, other than the new pedestrian access in the garden areas within its curtilage.
