Core Refusal Reason
The application for an extension of duration was refused because the development had not commenced, the maximum statutory extension period had already been reached, and a required Appropriate Assessment legally precludes such an extension.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development permitted under Planning Reference No. 06/1375 had not commenced and no substantial works were carried out prior to the expiration of the appropriate period.
- The combined duration of the requested extension and the previously granted five-year extension would exceed the maximum limit permitted under Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000.
- Under Section 42(8) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, an extension of duration cannot be granted where it is determined that an Appropriate Assessment is required.
