Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The proposed development is located within a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a High Landscape Sensitivity area, where it failed to demonstrate that it would not adversely affect the integrity of the protected site, provide safe wastewater treatment, or appropriately assimilate into the sensitive landscape.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The development is partially located within the Connemara Bog Complex SAC, and the applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence to rule out significant adverse effects on the integrity and conservation objectives of this European site.

  • The suburban design and scale of the dwelling are considered inappropriate for a High Landscape Sensitivity area and fail to comply with backland development policies regarding separation distances and visual assimilation.
