Core Refusal Reason
The proposed revised entrance is considered unnecessary and detrimental to the rural landscape, particularly as a safe and viable entrance has already been permitted for the site.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal contravenes specific rural housing and design objectives (SPQHO54, SPQHO55, DMSO125) and standards set out in Table 14.9 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029.
- A safe and viable entrance/driveway has already been permitted for the subject dwelling, rendering the proposed revision unnecessary.
- The development fails to protect the rural landscape and conflicts with the 'RU' (Rural) zoning objective, thereby undermining the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
