Core Refusal Reason
The proposal exceeds the planned growth scale for the village, is located in a high-risk flood zone, and lacks appropriate wastewater infrastructure.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The scale of 13 serviced sites significantly exceeds the objective of three individual dwellings for Curraglass as set out in the Fermoy Municipal District Local Area Plan 2017.
- The site is located within Flood Zones A and B, making the proposed highly vulnerable development contrary to national and local flood risk management policies.
- The proposed multi-unit wastewater treatment facility is premature and poses a public health risk in the absence of public infrastructure or individual treatment systems as required by the Local Area Plan.
