Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development materially contravenes Road Objective R09 of the Greystones-Delgany and Kilcoole Local Area Plan 2013 and the AP8 Ballydonarea Action Plan by failing to provide for a required link road between Sea Road and Lott Lane.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal fails to provide for the R09 link road between Sea Road and Lott Lane as mandated by the AP8 Ballydonarea Action Plan, which would prejudice the deliverability of zoned lands and contravene the Local Area Plan.
- The applicant failed to submit sufficient technical information regarding storm water runoff management and Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) in accordance with the Greater Dublin Strategic Drainage Study.
- The development as proposed represents a density below the requirements for the AP8 area and includes unacceptable design features, such as a 1.8m high blank wall along the proposed estate road, which would negatively impact the visual amenity of the area.

Decision Document Summary
