Core Refusal Reason
The Planning Authority is legally precluded from granting a further extension of duration because the development has already benefited from a maximum five-year extension under a previous application (Ref. 18/7027).
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The subject development has already been granted a previous five-year extension of duration under planning reference 18/7027, which expired on 19th November 2023.

- As the applicants have already utilized the maximum five-year extension period allowed by legislation, the Planning Authority is prohibited from granting any further extension for the project.
