Core Refusal Reason
The proposal fails to meet development plan requirements for physical attachment to the main dwelling and presents a public health hazard due to site intensification.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The intensification of the application site's use would result in a significant public health hazard.
- The proposed unit is detached from the main dwelling, which directly contravenes the requirements of Section 18.13.3 of the Wexford County Development Plan.
- The development is considered contrary to the principles of proper planning and sustainable development for the Courtown area.
