Core Refusal Reason
The proposed childcare facility is not ancillary to the main residence and constitutes a material contravention of the 'RC' (Rural Cluster) zoning objective.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed childcare facility is large-scale and not ancillary to the existing dwelling, violating the 'RC' zoning requirements.
- The development fails to maintain the rural nature of the cluster as required by the Fingal Development Plan 2017-2023.
- Granting permission would result in a material contravention of the zoning objective and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
