Core Refusal Reason
Traffic hazard and lack of justification for a redundant additional entrance.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The site is already accessible via an existing entrance to the north, rendering the proposed new entrance an unnecessary intensification of use.
- The applicant failed to provide adequate clarification or justification regarding the specific need for the new entrance or the intended use of the site.
- The creation of multiple entrances for a single site constitutes a traffic hazard and contravenes the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028.

Decision Document Summary
The application proposed a new entrance to an existing field at Ballydonfin, Ballyhuskard. The planning authority refused permission primarily because the land is already served by an existing access point, and the applicant did not sufficiently demonstrate a need for a second entrance. The development was deemed to create a traffic hazard due to the multiplicity of entrances and was found to be in direct conflict with Objective TS78 of the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
