Core Refusal Reason
The proposal is premature pending the adoption of a Local Area Plan for Rathmichael, poses a significant traffic hazard due to inadequate sightlines, and interferes with an established public right of way.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development is premature as the site is located on Tier 2 lands within the Rathmichael Local Area Plan boundary, where new residential development is restricted until a Local Area Plan is prepared and infrastructure is delivered.
- The proposed development would endanger public safety by creating a traffic hazard due to deficient sightlines onto Bride's Glen Road and the unsuitability of Rathmichael Lane for additional vehicular traffic.
- The reliance on an established public right of way for principal access directly contravenes policy objectives designed to protect such routes from obstruction and development.
