Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes undesirable ribbon development on a regional road and lacks necessary utility connection confirmation.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development would exacerbate a pattern of linear ribbon development, detracting from the rural character and amenities of the area.
- The proposal conflicts with safety policies regarding new or intensified access points onto Class 2 regional roads with speed limits exceeding 60 km/h.
- The applicant failed to provide confirmation of feasibility from Irish Water for connection to public mains, preventing a full assessment.
