Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The application failed to meet the statutory requirements of Section 42(1)(a)(i) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as the development had not commenced and no substantial works were carried out prior to the expiration of the original permission.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The development to which permission Pl. Ref 17/808 relates was not commenced before the expiration of the appropriate period on 28th April 2023.
  • No substantial works were carried out pursuant to the original permission during the appropriate period.
  • Current legislation, following the 2021 amendments to the Planning and Development Act, provides no provision for extending the appropriate period where development has not commenced.
