Core Refusal Reason
The application failed to meet the statutory requirements for an extension of duration under Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as it was submitted after the expiry of the previous permission and the potential for significant environmental effects on European sites could not be excluded.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The application was not submitted prior to the expiration of the previous appropriate period (31st December 2021), failing to comply with the timing requirements of Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000.
- The Planning Authority was not satisfied that an Appropriate Assessment would not be required, as significant effects on the Coole Garryland Complex SAC and SPA could not be definitively ruled out.
- The proposal does not accord with the specific provisions of Section 42(1) and Section 42B of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) regarding the granting of further extensions of duration.
