Core Refusal Reason
The proposal for holiday accommodation in a rural area outside a settlement boundary contravenes development plan policies regarding the location and integration of tourism development.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development is located outside an established settlement boundary and within the curtilage of a private dwelling, which conflicts with policies favoring accommodation within settlements.
- The proposal fails to integrate with small-scale tourism enterprises or established rural activities as required by the Cork County Development Plan.
- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments and materially contravene specific policy objectives TO 9-1 and TO 10-1.
