Core Refusal Reason
The application was refused due to insufficient technical information regarding wastewater treatment, non-compliance with minimum site size standards for the proposed floor area, and failure to meet mandatory biodiversity and landscaping requirements.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The submission lacks complete and accurate information regarding wastewater treatment and disposal, posing a potential risk to public health and preventing a full planning assessment.
- The proposed dwelling's floor area exceeds 200 sq.m on a 0.36ha site, which fails to meet the minimum site size requirements established in the Wexford County Development Plan.
- The application fails to demonstrate that 20% of the site area has been set aside for tree planting and biodiversity promotion as required by current planning standards.
