Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The proposed development was refused due to its incongruous design relative to the existing streetscape, failure to demonstrate adequate car parking, and lack of necessary consent from Uisce Éireann regarding water and sewerage infrastructure.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed design is considered an incongruous addition that fails to reflect the distinctive character of the existing streetscape, thereby contravening NAV OBJ 28 of the Meath County Development Plan.

  • The proposal does not demonstrate the required amount of on-site car parking, which would likely result in an intensification of on-street parking, endangering public safety and creating a traffic hazard.
