Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to its remote location from services, direct access onto a National Secondary road (N70) creating a traffic hazard, and inadequate evidence regarding on-site effluent disposal.

- The Planning Authority is not satisfied that effluent arising from the development can be adequately disposed of on-site, posing a risk to public health.
- The proposed access onto the N70 roadway would endanger public safety by creating a traffic hazard due to substandard sightlines and increased traffic movements.
