Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development of an agricultural building (stables) is classified as 'Not Permitted' under the 'F - Open Space and Amenity' and 'U - Transport and Utilities' land use zonings of the Leixlip Local Area Plan 2020-2023.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The subject site is governed by the Leixlip Local Area Plan 2020-2023, which designates the land under two specific zonings: 'F - Open Space and Amenity' and 'U - Transport and Utilities'.
- The land use matrix within the Local Area Plan explicitly categorizes 'agricultural buildings' as a 'Not Permitted' use for both the 'F' and 'U' zoning designations.
- The proposed stable block would contravene the established land use zoning of the area and is therefore considered contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the locality.
