Core Refusal Reason
The application for an extension of duration was refused because no substantial works were carried out on the site during the original permission period, failing to meet the mandatory statutory requirements of Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant explicitly stated in the application that development works have not yet commenced on the subject site.
- Section 42(1)(a)(III) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) requires the Planning Authority to be satisfied that substantial works were carried out pursuant to the permission during the appropriate period.
- As no substantial works have been performed, the Planning Authority is legally precluded from granting an extension of the permission granted under Reg. Ref. 19/361.
