Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to poor design quality impacting the streetscape, insufficient environmental assessment regarding protected European sites, and inadequate provision of accessible parking.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The design and layout are deemed of insufficient quality for a prominent location, resulting in an adverse impact on the streetscape.
- Insufficient information was provided to assess potential adverse effects on the Wexford Harbour and Slobs SPA and the Slaney River Valley SAC.
- The number of accessible parking spaces proposed is insufficient and fails to meet the standards set out in the County Development Plan.

Decision Document Summary
This application sought permission for a car rental commercial premises in Ardcavan.
