Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to significant traffic safety concerns on the N83 National Route, potential interference with the planned N6 Galway City Ring Road, and non-compliance with rural enterprise and drainage policies.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development would cause an unacceptable intensification of traffic movements on the N83 National Route, creating a safety hazard and setting an undesirable precedent for commercial development in the open countryside.
- The site's proximity to the preferred route of the N6 Galway City Ring Road means the proposal would prejudice the delivery of this national infrastructure project and contravene national spatial planning guidelines.
- The applicant failed to provide sufficient technical details regarding surface water drainage and did not satisfy rural enterprise criteria concerning the local sourcing of raw materials and the protection of rural character.
