Core Refusal Reason
The application was refused due to significant information deficiencies regarding site levels, archaeological impact, and infrastructural compliance with traffic safety and drainage standards.

- The proposed infrastructural design, including road layout, sightlines, and surface water management, fails to meet the technical requirements of DMURS and the Louth County Development Plan.
