- The development does not fulfill the mandatory criteria set out under Section 42(1)(a)(i) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), specifically points (I) and (II) regarding commencement and substantial works.
- As the permitted development does not meet the statutory criteria for an extension, the Planning Authority is unable to facilitate the request to extend the duration of the parent permission (Ref. 20/1662).
