Core Refusal Reason
Insufficient sightlines at the proposed vehicular entrance, creating a traffic hazard and failing to meet safety standards.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development fails to meet the minimum sightline requirement of 65m in both directions required for a minor County road.
- Available sightlines looking left on exit are restricted to approximately 40m, which is significantly below the necessary safety threshold.
- The access is contrary to Objective 6.2.6 of the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028 and would endanger public safety by reason of a traffic hazard.

The proposed access only achieves approximately 40m of visibility to the left, which fails to comply with the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028 and is deemed to pose a significant risk to public safety....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
