EXTENSION OF DURATION of pl. file 19/335 - Change of use from existing light industrial to Co-working office space to part of ground and first floor of existing building. Permission is also sought for internal & external alterations & proposed signage to facilitate the change of use as noted above to part of East & South Elevation. Planning permission is also sought for re-location of existing roller shutter door, removal of single storey storage area, provision of 2 number two storey fire escape all to the South Elevation, new car parking layout to existing car park, together with all other associated site works
Core Refusal Reason
The development had not commenced and no substantial works were carried out during the original permission period, failing to meet the mandatory legislative requirements for an extension of duration under Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development permitted under planning reference 19/335 has not commenced, and a site inspection confirmed that no substantial works were undertaken during the appropriate period of the permission.
- The application fails to satisfy Section 42(1)(a)(i)(III) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), which requires the planning authority to be satisfied that substantial works were carried out pursuant to the permission during its original term.
- The applicant failed to provide the specific information required under Article 42(ff) of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001, meaning the application did not comply with the procedural requirements of Section 42(1)(b) and (c) of the Act.
