for the provision of an infill development of 7 No. two storey, 3 bedroom terraced houses [Types E, E1 & F], set out in two terraces, with on-curtilage parking and bin stores to front, with associated hard and soft landscaping and all associated site works on a site area of 0.2ha

Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The proposed development constitutes overdevelopment due to the failure to provide a necessary childcare facility on a site previously designated for such use, leaving the wider residential development of circa 286 dwellings without adequate services.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The loss of the site previously designated for a creche facility under parent permission Reg. Ref. 07/1474 results in a deficit of essential community infrastructure for the wider 286-dwelling estate, contrary to Section 28 Guidelines and the Kildare County Development Plan.
  • The location of the existing electrical substation to the front of the proposed dwellings is considered to have a significant negative visual impact on the residential amenity of units E1 and F.
  • The application failed to provide adequate technical information regarding site-specific soil infiltration for sustainable drainage, a comprehensive construction management plan, and specific details required to establish Part V social housing obligations.
