Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant explicitly stated in the documentation that the development has not commenced and no substantial works have been carried out on the site to date.
- The subject planning permission (SA120721) has already been granted a previous extension of duration under reference AA170991, which is due to expire in November 2022.
- Under Section 42(4) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), the combined duration of extensions cannot exceed 5 years; therefore, the proposal does not comply with the legislative requirements for a further extension.
