18/163 proposed change of dwelling house design from a two storey type dwelling house that was previously granted full planning permission under planning reference number PL17/274 to a single storey bungalow type dwelling house with detached garage, entrance, boundary fence/wall, suitable onsite sewerage treatment system with percolation area and ancillary site works
Refused
Core Refusal Reason
The application was refused because the parent permission (PL18/163) contained a specific condition limiting its duration to the expiry date of the original permission (PL17/274), rendering it ineligible for an extension under Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development has not yet commenced, and while the applicant's economic reasons for the delay were deemed acceptable, the legal requirements for an extension under Section 42 are not met.
- Condition Number 2 of the parent permission (PL18/163) specifically limits the permission date to the expiration date of the original permission (PL17/274) for the completion of the development.
- Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) does not apply in this instance because the permission was granted for a specific period rather than the default statutory lifespan.
