Core Refusal Reason
Negative visual impact on the countryside due to scale and siting, and insufficient information regarding agricultural waste management.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The scale and dominant siting of the shed adjoining the local road would negatively impact the visual amenities of the rural landscape.
- Insufficient information was submitted regarding the storage and management of slurry, farmyard manure, and soiled water generated by the facility.
- The proposal is contrary to the guidance in the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028 and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

Decision Document Summary

Consequently, the development was deemed inconsistent with Section 5.5.1 of the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
