Core Refusal Reason
The application was submitted under Section 42(1A) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, which applies only to developments of one or more houses; as the original permission was for a domestic extension, it does not qualify under this legislative provision.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The application fails to meet the requirements of Section 42(1A) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) because that section refers only to applications for one or more houses.
- The original permission (PRR 21/451) was for a dormer extension and flat roof to an existing dwelling, which is a different type of development than that permitted under Section 42(1A).
- Substantial works have not taken place on the site to justify an extension of the appropriate period under the relevant legislative criteria.
