Core Refusal Reason
The application failed to demonstrate adequate traffic safety regarding sight distances, failed to prove the environmental suitability of imported fill material, and is located within the preferred route corridor for the N2 Ardee to Castleblayney Road Scheme.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant has not demonstrated that the required 90m sight distances can be achieved at the laneway's junction with the local road, posing a risk to traffic safety.
- Insufficient evidence was provided to confirm that the material already infilled on-site is inert and does not pose a risk to groundwater or surface water drainage systems.
- The site is situated within the preferred route corridor for the N2 Ardee to Castleblayney Road Scheme and was deemed unsuitable for the proposed on-site wastewater treatment system in its current state.
