Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to inadequate flood risk mitigation, unsustainable construction access impacting the national road network, and significant design inconsistencies with the Cherrywood Planning Scheme regarding site levels, scale, and green infrastructure.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant failed to demonstrate that the proposed flood mitigation measures would not pose an unacceptable risk to the development area and downstream receptors, while the resulting ground level changes would negatively impact site connectivity and the amenity of Priorsland Park.
- The proposed construction access via the Carrickmines Interchange is considered unsustainable and would adversely affect the safety, capacity, and operational efficiency of the strategic national road network and adjacent Luas infrastructure.
- The development fails to comply with the Cherrywood Planning Scheme's standards for urban form, exceeding maximum site coverage limits and providing poor micro-climate conditions and inadequate building heights in key areas.

The proposal included a village centre, residential units, and parkland. The Planning Authority refused permission on ten grounds, primarily citing insufficient flood risk assessment and the adverse impact of proposed flood containment measures on site levels, adjoining land access, and green infrastructure.
