EXTENSION OF DURATION OF 2560511 - Replacement of: 9 No. single storey 1-bed studio units, a 2-storey community and administration building and a utility building, all previously granted planning permission under planning reference number 16852, and extended duration under planning reference number 21728, with, 8 No. residential units comprising of the following: 4 No. single storey blocks comprising of 1 no. 1 bed dwelling and 1 no. 2 bed dwelling per block and all associated site development works
Core Refusal Reason
The application for an Extension of Duration (EoD) was refused because the parent permission had already been granted a five-year extension, and statutory provisions under Section 42(4) and 42(4C) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) prohibit the aggregate duration of extensions from exceeding five years.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The parent permission (ref. 16852) had already received a maximum five-year extension of duration under planning reference 21728, expiring in April 2027.
- Under Section 42(4) and 42(4C) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), the Planning Authority is legally precluded from granting further extensions that would result in an aggregate extension period exceeding five years.
- A site inspection confirmed that development had not commenced on-site since the parent permission was granted in 2017, and the request for a further three-year extension was deemed non-compliant with current legislative restrictions.
