Refused

Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed use as a take-away/café is listed as 'Not Permitted' within the 'Amenity and Open Space' zoning objective of the Cavan County Development Plan 2022-2028.

- The development is at variance with national policy (DoECLG Spatial Planning and National Roads Guidelines) which seeks to avoid additional access points or increased traffic on national roads with speed limits greater than 60km/h.
