Planning permission to construct a new storage shed complete with all ancillary site works associated with the development on the field south of my existing dwelling at Ard Scotia, Clahane, Ballyard, Tralee, Co. Kerry V92CX4F including yard area around shed for vehicle turning.

Refused

Core Refusal Reason

  • The proposal fails to integrate into the landscape and would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments, contrary to Objective KCDP 11-78.
