Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The application was refused due to traffic safety concerns regarding the intensification of an access onto a restricted regional road (R-336) and the unsuitability of the site for wastewater treatment due to poor drainage and ground conditions.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed development would intensify an existing vehicular access onto the R-336 restricted regional road, creating a traffic hazard and interfering with the safety and free flow of traffic in an 80kph zone.

  • The Planning Authority has serious concerns regarding the site's suitability for wastewater treatment, as ground truthing indicated wet grassland and poor drainage characteristics that would prevent the safe disposal of domestic effluent.
