The construction of a new vehicular entrance and the change of use of a portion of the side garden to a residential driveway, Including all associated side works. Description of Proposed Development:- This application seeks permission for the formation of a new vehicular access point and the change of use of a portion of the side garden to a hardstanding driveway. The primary purpose of the development is to provide safe, convenient off-street parking for the residential property, thereby reducing on-street vehicle presence and improving overall site safety. The proposed works comprise: 1. New Vehicular Entrance & Dropped Kerb: The formation of a new vehicular crossover from the public roadway. This will involve the modification of the existing public footpath kerb to create a standard-width dropped kerb access point ("dishing"). The width will be precisely 2.9 m (or advised by council) to comfortably accommodate domestic vehicles while minimizing the impact on the footpath. 2. Change of Use: The formal change of use of a defined portion of the existing side garden from domestic amenity space to a hardstanding residential driveway. 3. Driveway Construction & Sustainable Drainage (Suds): The construction of the driveway within the property boundary will be executed as follows: Excavation and removal of topsoil and vegetation from the delineated area. Installation of a compacted, mechanically stabilized sub-base layer to ensure a stable and durable foundation that prevents settlement. Laying of a permeable surface using concrete block paving with a copper/charcoal finish. Crucially, the blocks will be laid on a permeable bedding layer (e.g., sharp sand) with jointing gaps to allow surface water to infiltrate the ground below. This design ensures compliance with Sustainable Drainage (Suds) principles by managing rainfall runoff at source and preventing increased pressure on public surface water sewers. 4. Dimensions:- 12m length x 3.5m width driveway to park 2 vehicles. Proposed vehicle entry 3.5m 5. Associated Site Works & Amenity Protection: Landscaping: Minor soft landscaping will be undertaken along the periphery of the new driveway to soften its appearance and integrate it with the remaining garden, strictly preserving the natural ambience and character of the estate. Access Control: The installation of a new double-leaf gate. The gate will be identical in design and material to the existing boundary fence for visual consistency and will be hung to open inwards onto the property, ensuring it does not encroach upon or pose a hazard to pedestrians on the public footpath. The proposed development will facilitate the installation of a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) charging point. This will support the charging of a hybrid electric vehicle at the property, reducing reliance on public charging facilities, to conserve fossil fuel and a step closer to achieving national energy target. Upon approval, this initiative will contribute to a more sustainable transport solution, with the potential to utilise off-peak electricity tariffs, thereby aligning with broader environmental objectives and energy demand management for the council, ESB and Eirgrid. The proposal is a modest, domestic-scale development that enhances the functionality of the property without altering the built footprint of the main dwelling. It is designed to be sympathetic in scale, materials, and design to the host property and the surrounding area.
