Core Refusal Reason
Failure to demonstrate that the original dwelling was uninhabitable or in a state of disrepair sufficient to justify demolition and replacement under current development plan policies.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal is considered to constitute a replacement dwelling in substance, rather than a justified demolition.
- The Planning Authority is not satisfied that the original dwelling was proven to be uninhabitable or structurally beyond repair.
- The development contravenes specific policy objectives regarding the retrofit, reuse, and adaptation of existing housing stock as set out in the County Development Plan.
