Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes ribbon development on a deficient road network, conflicting with settlement strategy and traffic safety.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development would extend an existing pattern of one-off linear development and create an additional infill site on a village approach road.
- The proposal is contrary to the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028 policies regarding orderly and efficient development at settlement edges.
- The local road network is deficient in width and alignment, and the additional access point would create an unacceptable traffic hazard.
