Permission to revise site development layout, from that previously granted planning permission under Ref. No's 19/348 & 21/455. The revisions will include the following: Relocate creche facility with 2 No x 2 bed apartments over, to revised location by the removal of the apartment block containing unit no's 75 to 78 inclusive and re-position adjacent apartment block containing unit no's 71 to 74 inclusive to facilitate this change; Provide 2 no semi detached dwelling blocks containing 4 no x 4 bed units in the previous location of the creche facility and the 2 no. apartments over and re-position adjacent dwelling no's 25 to 32 inclusive to provide for an additional 1 no. single dwelling x 4 bed unit, thus providing a total of 79 no. dwelling units to the development; Connect all buildings to be relocated and the additional 1 no. detached dwelling, to the previously approved site ancillary services at
Core Refusal Reason
The proposed relocation of the creche facility to the final phase of development is considered premature and would unacceptably defer the delivery of essential social infrastructure. Additionally, the application contains significant technical inconsistencies and fails to demonstrate adequate traffic management and Part V compliance.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The relocation of the creche from Phase 2 to Phase 4 is unacceptable as it postpones the provision of a much-needed public service until the final stages of the 79-unit development.
- The application contains significant inconsistencies and conflicting information regarding house types, floor areas, and site layout, which prevents a comprehensive assessment of the proposal's impact.
- The proposal fails to provide adequate justification for the reduction in turning circle sizes and lacks clarity regarding car parking and drop-off arrangements for the relocated creche facility.
