Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The proposed development, due to its siting, excessive footprint, and haphazard circuitous access arrangement, would negatively impact the visual amenity and character of a high-sensitivity coastal landscape (Class 3).

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The site is located within a Special Class 3 landscape designated as 'High Sensitivity to Change', where the proposed development would constitute an unnecessary scar and seriously injure the visual amenity of the coastal setting.
  • The proposed site configuration, characterized by a haphazard and circuitous access arrangement and an excessive footprint, fails to demonstrate appropriate site selection and design in accordance with rural design guidelines.
  • The proposal is contrary to Policy Objective RH 9 and DM Standards 8 and 46 of the Galway County Development Plan 2022-2028, and fails to address the fundamental siting concerns raised in the previous refusal under planning reference 24/61454.
