Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to its premature nature regarding infrastructure dependency, non-compliance with road safety objectives for Brennanstown Road, and an unacceptably low residential density for the area.

- The proposed density of 6.7 units per hectare is significantly below the required 40-80 dph range for suburban extensions, representing an unsustainable use of serviced land and setting an undesirable precedent.
