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, which is a mandatory requirement under Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended).
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development has not commenced and no substantial works have been carried out on-site, meaning the application fails to meet the statutory requirements of Section 42(1)(a) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended.
- The applicant failed to provide the necessary information required under Article 42(ff) of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001, resulting in further non-compliance with Section 42(1)(b) and (c) of the Act.
- Under the revised legislation, it is not possible to grant an extension of duration for a planning permission where the development has not yet commenced.
