Core Refusal Reason

Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The design and layout of the proposal would negatively impact and prejudice the future development of adjoining lands zoned for Community Infrastructure (CI).
- The scheme fails to adhere to the standards for infill and backland development as defined in Table 14.4 and Objective SPQHO42 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023–2029.
- Granting permission would establish an undesirable precedent for similar unsustainable development patterns that are contrary to the principles of proper planning in the area.
