Decision Maker's Conclusion
- A site inspection confirmed that the development permitted under Reg. Ref. 17/485 has not yet commenced on the subject lands.
- Under Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, an extension of duration can only be granted if the authority is satisfied that the development commenced before the expiration of the permission and substantial works were carried out.
- As the development has not commenced, the application fails to meet the necessary legislative requirements and therefore the extension of duration cannot be facilitated.
