for the reinstatement of partially collapsed rear and side elevation wall, the unblocking of door opening and replacement of timber framed door on the front elevation, the reinstatement of a collapsed roof, including minor internal works as well as all ancillary site works and services

Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The application was refused due to the absence of a structural report demonstrating the feasibility of renovating the derelict structure and the lack of information regarding safe domestic effluent disposal.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The applicant failed to provide a structural report to demonstrate that the derelict structure is capable of being brought back into habitable use, which materially contravenes Policy Objective RH 7 of the County Development Plan.

  • The proposed development would be prejudicial to public health and pose an unacceptable risk to surface waters, making it contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
