Crayvall Egg Production Ltd. intend to apply for planning permission to construct 1 No. Poultry Layer House and 1 No. Manure/General Purpose store, together with all ancillary structures, (to include 3 No. meal storage bin(s) and soiled water tank), and all associated site works (to include upgraded internal farm laneway,) associated with the proposed development, at Carrickbaggott, Grangebellew, Co. Louth. This application relates to a development, which is for the purposes of an activity requiring a Licence under part IV of the Environmental Protection Agency (Licensing) Regulations 1994 to 2013. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (E.I.A.R.) and Natura Impact Statement (N.I.S.) will be submitted with this planning application.
Core Refusal Reason
The application was refused due to inadequate environmental information (EIAR/NIS) regarding waste management and biosecurity, potential adverse impacts on the North-West Irish Sea SPA, and failure to comply with siting and business plan requirements of the County Development Plan.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) is deficient in information regarding landspreading, biosecurity, and various environmental factors, precluding a comprehensive assessment of the project's significant effects.
- The Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the development would not have a significant effect on the North-West Irish Sea SPA (No: 004236), and is therefore precluded from granting permission under Appropriate Assessment requirements.
- The proposed siting is not clustered with existing farm buildings and lacks a required business plan, which is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area as set out in Chapter 13.13.11.7 of the Development Plan.
