Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The development constitutes excessive ribbon development and fails to meet mandatory road safety sightline requirements at the proposed entrance.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed dwelling would result in a 7th house along a continuous 250-metre section of roadway, thereby constituting undesirable ribbon development contrary to Policy 5-12 of the Tipperary County Development Plan 2022-2028.

  • The development would endanger public safety by reason of being a traffic hazard or obstruction to road users and is therefore contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
