Core Refusal Reason
The proposed residential development is located on lands specifically zoned for Transport and Utilities infrastructure to facilitate the expansion of Waterford Airport, a use which is not permitted under the current zoning matrix.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The subject site is zoned for Transport and Utilities infrastructure in the Waterford City & County Development Plan 2022-2028, and the provision of a private dwelling is not a permitted use within this zoning category.
- The proposed development would materially contravene specific policy objectives (TRANS 27, TRANS 28, and ECON 10) designed to safeguard the future expansion, operational safety, and technical requirements of Waterford Airport.
- Permitting a dwelling at this location would prejudice the strategic delivery of transport infrastructure and would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
