Refused
Core Refusal Reason
The application for an extension of duration was refused because the development had not commenced and no substantial works had been carried out prior to the expiration of the original permission, failing to meet the statutory requirements of Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended).
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- A site inspection and applicant confirmation verified that no physical works have commenced on the site to date.
- The application fails to satisfy Section 42(1)(c)(i)(ii) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, which requires that substantial works must have been carried out during the original permission period.
- Legislative amendments to the Planning and Development Act have removed the possibility of granting an extension of duration for un-commenced developments where substantial works have not been performed.
