Zoning evaluated against the point

FINGAL_DP_OWN · — – —

RS - Residential: Ensure that any new development in existing areas would have a minimal impact on and enhance existing residential amenity.

R2 — Existing residential the fingal development plan 2023 2029 · 5 Apr 2023 – 5 Apr 2029

RS - Residential: Provide for residential development and protect and improve residential amenity

What that means: An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.
