Core Refusal Reason

- The development to which the permission relates had not commenced before the expiration of the appropriate period sought to be extended.
- No substantial works were carried out pursuant to the permission during the original five-year period of the planning permission.
- The proposed commencement date of June 2026 falls outside the life cycle of the original permission, rendering the application non-compliant with the mandatory legislative requirements for an extension of duration.
