Extension of Duration to Permission granted under Planning Ref. No. 17/7344
Core Refusal Reason
Failure to meet the statutory requirements for an Extension of Duration under Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended).
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development authorized under planning permission 17/7344 had not commenced prior to the expiration of the original appropriate period.
- No substantial works were carried out pursuant to the original permission during the required timeframe.
- The Planning Authority is legally precluded from granting an extension as there is no evidence the development will be completed within a reasonable timeframe.
