Core Refusal Reason
The application for an extension of duration was refused because the development had not commenced on-site and no substantial works were carried out prior to the expiration of the original permission, failing to meet the statutory requirements of Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development failed to satisfy the requirements of Section 42(1)(a)(i) as site inspections confirmed that no works had commenced on-site and no substantial works were carried out in the context of the overall development.
- The application failed to meet the criteria of Section 42(1A) because the planning permission was for a single dwelling, which does not meet the minimum threshold of 20 houses required for an extension under that specific subsection.
- The proposal did not comply with Section 42(1B) as the development was not commenced before the expiration of the appropriate period, and the applicant failed to satisfy the authority that the development would be completed within a reasonable time.
