Core Refusal Reason
Traffic hazard and inadequate sightlines due to proximity to a junction and a dangerous bend.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development would endanger public safety by creating a traffic hazard due to its proximity to an existing junction and a dangerous bend.
- The applicant failed to demonstrate that the required 135m sightlines are achievable within the site boundaries, as necessary works would fall outside the application site.

Decision Document Summary
The application proposed the installation of an agricultural entrance at Ballycarney. The planning authority refused permission because the entrance would be located too close to a junction and a dangerous bend, posing a risk to public safety. Additionally, the applicant could not accurately demonstrate that the required 135m sightlines could be achieved without relying on works outside the site's legal boundary, which is in direct conflict with the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
