Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development materially contravenes a condition of a previous planning permission (Reg. Ref. 95/541) which restricted the number of houses on the site and designated the subject area as open space.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal materially contravenes Condition No. 1 of planning permission Reg. Ref. 95/541, which restricted development to seven houses and designated the application site as open space.
- The development of this site would result in the loss of designated green area/open space intended for the benefit of the existing residential estate.
- Granting permission for a dwelling on lands previously conditioned as open space would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
