Core Refusal Reason
The development is located in a flood risk zone and lacks a satisfactory Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) to justify its retention.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The subject site at 19 Clare Street is located within a designated flood risk area, and the retention of the first-floor extension is considered premature pending a comprehensive Flood Risk Assessment.
- The development is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the Limerick City North area due to its potential impact on flood management and local infrastructure.
- The application failed to address technical concerns highlighted by the Physical Directorate and Water Services during the statutory referral process.
