Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended that the Board dismiss the appeal under section 138(1)(a)(i) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as the appeal was made without any specific supporting arguments or evidence and was therefore considered to be without substance.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The appellant failed to state full grounds of appeal or provide supporting reasons, considerations, or arguments regarding how the development failed to accord with proper planning or sustainable development.

- The appeal does not meet the requirements of section 127(1)(a) of the Act and should be dismissed as being without substance.
