Core Refusal Reason
The retention of the relocated entrance is refused as it traverses an area of open space, impacts residential amenity through nuisance and proximity to an existing dwelling, and contravenes the 'Existing Residential' zoning objective which seeks to protect and enhance developed residential communities.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The entrance as constructed contravenes Conditions 1 and 5 of the previous planning grant (Reg. Ref. 19/196), which specifically required the entrance to be relocated to a different position to protect local amenities.
- The development results in the loss of mature hedgerow and traverses an area of open space, which detracts from the visual coherence and quality of the adjoining Ard Aoibhinn residential development.
- The location of the entrance in close proximity to an existing residential dwelling creates a nuisance and adversely impacts the residential amenities of the area, failing to comply with the County Development Plan's zoning objectives.
