4461/24
RETENTION : The development consists of retention of amendments to a previously permitted single storey shed (Reg Ref 4642/22 ) comprising of an increase in the overall floor area by approximately 7.3 sq. m with elevational changes including the relocation of window and doors all in the rear garden .
Core Refusal Reason
The application contravenes Article 26(4) of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 because the information concerning the use and layout of the structure is substantially incorrect (described as a shed but designed as a residential unit) and lacks adequate drainage details, creating unacceptable uncertainty regarding the city's drainage network.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The nature and extent of the development as described in statutory notices is substantially incorrect, as the structure is laid out as a self-contained residential unit rather than a domestic shed.
- The omission of internal layout plans and the failure to describe the actual use of the building renders the application incapable of being approved under the Planning and Development Regulations.
- The absence of detailed drainage drawings for the modified footprint creates a real risk of prejudice to the proper operation of the city's drainage network.
