Core Refusal Reason
The development materially contravenes the 'CI' Community Infrastructure zoning objective as a fast food outlet/take-away is not a permitted use under this designation.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The use of the site as a fast food outlet/take-away is not permitted under the 'CI' Community Infrastructure zoning objective of the Fingal County Development Plan 2023-2029.
- The retention of the development would materially contravene the stated vision for the 'CI' zoning, which is to provide for and protect civic, religious, community, education, health care, and social infrastructure.
- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for similar non-conforming uses and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
