Core Refusal Reason
The proposal materially contravenes a previous planning condition regarding residential parking, fails to provide any new parking for the retail unit, and lacks a required Retail Impact Statement for its location outside the core retail area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion

- In the absence of a Retail Impact Statement for a large-scale unit located outside the identified Core Retail Area of Ballinamore, the proposal is contrary to Section 4.7.5.6 and the Leitrim County Retail Strategy 2015-2021.
