Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The proposed development exceeds rural housing density limits in a highly sensitive landscape area, involves an unacceptable proliferation of road entrances, and includes an oversized domestic garage contrary to development standards.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The development would exceed the maximum permitted rural housing density for the area (16 dwellings per km2) and negatively impact the Western Bogland Landscape Character Area and the Grand Canal pNHA.
  • The creation of a fourth vehicular entrance within an 80-meter stretch of road constitutes an unacceptable proliferation of access points, contrary to safety and development management standards.
  • The proposed domestic garage significantly exceeds the maximum floor area of 40sqm permitted under the County Development Plan, setting an undesirable precedent for the rural area.
