Core Refusal Reason
The proposed garage is of an excessive scale and incongruous design, failing to be ancillary to the main dwelling and resulting in an over-provision of outbuildings on the site.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The 129sq.m scale of the garage is considered excessive and non-ancillary to the domestic nature of the main dwelling.
- The proposal would result in two garage/store buildings on site, contravening the policy recommendation of one per dwelling.
- The design is deemed incongruous and out of character with the site, failing to meet the requirements of Objectives DGS 01 and DGS 04 of the Cavan County Development Plan 2022-2028.
