Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The development was refused due to traffic safety hazards, encroachment on a coastal flood risk zone, lack of justification for the pods in a rural area without the associated heritage centre, and insufficient evidence of water supply connectivity.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed internal traffic circulation and restricted vehicle maneuverability would result in an intensification of use at a proposed access point, creating a traffic hazard and endangering public safety.
  • The development significantly encroaches on an identified coastal flood risk area and, in the absence of a site-specific flood risk assessment, contravenes the precautionary principle and sequential approach set out in national guidelines.
  • The provision of 12 glamping pods is considered premature and lacks justification in this rural location as the adjacent Heritage Centre, to which they were intended to be ancillary, has not yet been constructed.

Galway County Council refused the application on four primary grounds: traffic safety concerns arising from poor internal circulation and access intensification; encroachment onto a coastal flood risk area without adequate assessment; the lack of a planning justification for the pods ...
