Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The application for an extension of duration of planning permission TA/171068 does not comply with the mandatory requirements of Section 42(1) of the Planning and Development Act 2000-2022.
- The Planning Authority determined that substantial works have not yet commenced on the application site, which is a prerequisite for granting an extension under the Act.
- While some road infrastructure has been constructed, it is considered insufficient to satisfy the legislative criteria regarding the commencement and progression of the permitted development.
