Core Refusal Reason
The application failed to meet the statutory requirements for an extension of duration under Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as the development had not commenced and no substantial works were carried out during the original permission period.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- A site inspection conducted on 21/11/2023 and the applicant's own documentation confirmed that no works have commenced on the site to date.
- Under Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), the planning authority must be satisfied that substantial works were carried out pursuant to the permission during the appropriate period.
- As the development permitted under planning ref 18/1012 has not commenced, the request does not meet the mandatory legal requirements for an extension of duration.
