(A) amendment of a condition attached to planning file Ref. No. 17/1445 to alter condition no.3 to permit the erection of this proposed house on the original landholding, (B) the erection of a two-storey type house, (C) garage/fuel store for domestic use, (D) the installation of an Oakstown BAF wastewater treatment plant with a soil polishing filter percolation area and (E) upgrading of the existing vehicular entrance and access driveway and all associated site works
Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes overdevelopment of the original family landholding and would exacerbate an excessive density of development in a rural area, leading to increased suburbanisation and erosion of rural character, contrary to Policy RH9 of the Kildare County Development Plan 2017-2023.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development would exacerbate an excessive density of development in a rural area lacking public services, contributing to the increasing suburbanisation of the locality.
- The addition of another dwelling on the original family landholding constitutes overdevelopment and contravenes Policy RH9 of the Kildare County Development Plan 2017-2023.
- The construction of another dwelling at this location would continue to erode the rural character of an area already under severe development pressure and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
