An Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared for this development and is included with the planning application. Gross floor area 66800
Core Refusal Reason
The application for an Extension of Duration was refused because the development had not commenced and no substantial works had been carried out, and the legislative provision previously allowing for extensions based on commercial, economic, or technical delays (Section 42(1)(a)(ii)) has been repealed.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- A site inspection confirmed that development permitted under Reg. Ref. 17/967 has not yet commenced and no substantial works have been completed on the subject site.
- Following the commencement of Section 28(1) of the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016 on September 9th, 2021, the legislative provision to extend duration based on commercial, economic, or technical considerations (Section 42(1)(a)(ii)) was deleted.
- As the development does not meet the criteria of the remaining Section 42(1)(a)(i), which requires that development must have commenced and substantial works be completed, there is no legislative provision to facilitate the requested extension.
