Core Refusal Reason
The proposed dwelling's floor area exceeds the maximum allowable size for the provided site area under the County Development Plan's rural housing standards.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed floor area of 253.01sqm on a 0.301ha site fails to meet the minimum site size and biodiversity requirements specified in Table 3-3.
- The development is in direct conflict with the standards for single dwellings in rural areas as set out in Volume 2 of the Wexford County Development Plan.
- Granting permission would undermine the proper planning and sustainable development of the Effernoge and Tinnacross area.
