The application describes: Planning Permission is sought for reconfiguration of the shared rear garden boundary between number 17 Gilford Park and 8 Gilford Drive, Sandymount, Dublin 4 to include for demolition of the existing shared masonry boundary wall between the two properties to enable the enlargement of the rear garden to 17 Gilford Park and construction of a new blockwork boundary wall of 1.8 meters overall height to be constructed 6 metres offset from and parallel to the existing rear extension of 8 Gilford Drive. The new boundary wall will span from the existing side boundary of 6 Gilford Drive to the West and extends to the boundary of 10 Gilford Drive to the East including an angular splay adjacent 10 Gilford Drive to allow for tree retention and will result in an enlarged rear garden of 248 sq m to 17 Gilford Park and a reduced rear garden of 96 sq m to 8 Gilford Drive. No internal or external changes are proposed to either of the dwellings which remain unchanged and in use as residential dwellings and there are no changes proposed to the extent of hardstanding surface to the rear patios and gardens of both dwellings which also remain unchanged.
