Core Refusal Reason
The development is incompatible with the 'CI' Community Infrastructure zoning objective and lacks adequate wastewater drainage arrangements.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The use of the structure as a fast food outlet or take-away is not a permitted use under the 'CI' Community Infrastructure zoning objective.
- Granting retention would materially contravene the Fingal County Development Plan 2023-2029 and set an undesirable precedent for the area.
- The applicant failed to demonstrate that adequate wastewater drainage arrangements are in place, rendering the development prejudicial to public health.
