Core Refusal Reason
The proposed construction of a new dwelling on lands zoned 'Objective A1' is considered premature pending the adoption of the Rathmichael Local Area Plan (LAP) and does not qualify as a 'minor modification or extension' permitted in advance of the LAP under the County Development Plan.

- While technical issues regarding wastewater treatment and site-specific traffic hazards were deemed acceptable or could be addressed, the fundamental conflict with the A1 zoning objective remains the primary ground for refusal.
