Core Refusal Reason
Failure to demonstrate a genuine rural housing need in an area designated as a Rural Area under Significant Urban Influence, contrary to Objective KCDP 5-14 of the County Development Plan.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant does not meet the specific housing need criteria required for a Rural Area under Significant Urban Influence as defined in Objective KCDP 5-14 of the Kerry County Development Plan 2022-2028.
- The application is a repeat of a previous refusal (Reg. No. 22/695) and no material change in circumstances or land zoning has occurred to justify a reversal of the prior decision.
- Granting permission for a dwelling where no functional rural need has been established would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
