Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development fails to meet the minimum density standards required by Ministerial Guidelines and local planning frameworks for its strategic location.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed density is below the minimum standards set by Table 3.1 of the Sustainable and Compact Settlement Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2024) for 'City - Suburban/Urban Extension' locations.
- Permitting a low-density scheme on prime residential zoned lands within the 'Dublin City and Suburbs Consolidation Area' would set an undesirable precedent for inappropriate development.
- The development materially contravenes the density range specified in the Kellystown Local Area Plan 2021 and is inconsistent with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
