- The design fails to comply with the 'Meath Rural House Design Guide' and would interfere with the character of the landscape which is necessary to preserve.
- The applicant failed to provide sufficient information to demonstrate that the proposed entrance provides adequate sightlines, posing a potential traffic hazard and endangering public safety.
