Core Refusal Reason
The proposal contravenes County Development Plan policy against short-term letting in established residential areas and would negatively impact residential amenity through traffic congestion and noise.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development would result in the withdrawal of property from the long-term rental market, directly contravening Objective KCDP 10-33 of the Kerry County Development Plan 2022-2028.
- The intensification of use for a 5-bedroom short-term rental unit would generate additional noise and disturbance, negatively impacting the residential amenity of the established Gortonora housing estate.
- The proposal provides inadequate on-site parking for a unit of this size, which would lead to traffic congestion and constitute a substandard form of development.
