Core Refusal Reason
The proposed wastewater percolation area fails to meet EPA standards due to the restricted width of the site, posing a risk to public health.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The restricted nature of the site prevents the dispersal field from achieving the necessary width for safe wastewater treatment.
- The proposed system fails to comply with the mandatory requirements of the EPA's 'Code of Practice Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems (March 2021)'.
- The development would pose a significant risk to public health and fails to align with the principles of proper planning and sustainable development.

Decision Document Summary
The proposal sought planning permission for the construction of a two-story development at Stonehaven House, Barnacullia, Dublin 18. The local authority refused the application because the site is too narrow to accommodate a wastewater dispersal field that complies with national environmental standards. Consequently, the development was deemed a risk to public health and found to be in breach of Section 12.10.3.1 of the County Development Plan 2022-2028....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
