Core Refusal Reason
The application for an extension of duration was refused because the development had not commenced and no substantial works were carried out within the original permission period, failing to meet the statutory requirements of Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal fails to satisfy the mandatory requirements of Section 42(1)(a)(i) parts (I) and (III) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, regarding commencement and substantial works.
- A site inspection conducted on June 3, 2026, confirmed that while the primary dwelling on-site is complete, development works on the garage related to Planning Reference 21/762 have not commenced.
- As no works were carried out pursuant to the specific permission during the appropriate period, the planning authority is legally unable to extend the duration of the permission.
