Core Refusal Reason
Failure to demonstrate that substantial works were carried out during the original permission period as required by Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The Planning Authority determined that the works completed to date do not constitute 'substantial works' within the meaning of the legislation.
- Excavation works on the subject site are deemed insufficient to satisfy the requirements of Section 42(1)(a)(i)(III) of the Planning and Development Act, as amended.
- The application failed to meet the mandatory statutory criteria necessary to justify an extension of the duration of the planning permission.
