Permission for a temporary period of five years for development at a c. 0.192 ha site on lands adjacent and south-west of Wilton Shopping Centre, Sarsfield Road, Wilton, Wilton, Cork. The development will consist of: (I) The construction of a sheltered canopy (c.77 sq.m) for the purpose of providing a drive thru "Click and Collect" facility with 3 no. parking bays with new vehicular accesses to the internal service road; (II) Signage; (III) Footpaths; (IV) A proposed raised pedestrian crossing and all associated site development works.
Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development materially contravenes the 'ZO1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods' zoning objective as it serves a District Centre use rather than providing local residential services or amenities.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The site is zoned ZO1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods, where the primary objective is to protect and provide for residential uses and amenities.
- The proposed 'Click and Collect' facility serves the adjacent District Centre rather than acting as a local service suitable for development within a residential zone.
- Granting permission would result in a material contravention of the zoning objective and compromise the future delivery of residential development in the area.
