Core Refusal Reason
The application for an extension of duration was refused because no substantial works had been carried out on the site during the lifetime of the parent permission, failing to meet the mandatory requirements of Section 42(1)(c)(ii) of the Planning and Development Act 2000-2023.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- A site inspection confirmed that the development permitted under Pl. Ref. 21/625 has not yet commenced and the site remains a greenfield in agricultural use.
- The applicant failed to satisfy the statutory requirement under Section 42(1)(c)(ii) of the Planning and Development Act 2000-2023, which stipulates that substantial works must be carried out during the duration of the permission.
- As no substantial works were performed, the Planning Authority is legally precluded from extending the appropriate period of the planning permission.
