Refused

Core Refusal Reason

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The development would exacerbate an excessive density of development in a rural area lacking public services and community facilities, thereby contravening Policy RH9(iv) of the Kildare County Development Plan 2017-2023.

  • The high concentration of existing ad hoc dwellings in the immediate vicinity (18 dwellings within a 250m radius) has diminished the area's capacity to absorb further development without losing its rural character.
