Permission for development to: (A) Construct an agricultural shed to include a milking parlour, dairy, cubicle area, agricultural storage areas, underground slurry tanks and collecting yards. (B) Erect a livestock feed storage bin. (C) Construct a dwelling house attached to the western end of the agricultural shed, including a septic tank, percolation area and all necessary site works.

Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The proposed development was refused due to its excessive scale and prominent siting, which would result in a significant negative visual impact on the landscape, and potential health risks to residents of the dwelling house attached to the large-scale agricultural structure.

  • The Planning Authority is not satisfied that the proximity of the dwelling house to the large-scale agricultural structure would not result in negative health implications for residents due to potential hazardous emissions.
