Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development was refused due to its excessive scale and inappropriate design within a High Amenity zone, which would negatively impact the sensitive landscape and fail to demonstrate that it would not adversely affect nearby Natura 2000 sites.

- Insufficient information was provided regarding potential hydrological links or construction impacts on the adjacent Rogerstown Estuary SPA and SAC, failing to rule out significant effects on Natura 2000 sites.
