Core Refusal Reason
The application failed to meet the statutory requirements for an extension of duration because no substantial works had commenced on-site prior to the application, following legislative changes to the Planning and Development Act.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- Legislative changes to the Planning and Development Act 2000 have removed the statutory basis for extending permissions where substantial works have not occurred.
- No physical works have commenced on the site since the original grant of permission was issued.
- The application fails to satisfy the specific criteria set out in Section 42(1)(c)(I) and Section 42(1B)(b)(v) of the Act.

Decision Document Summary
This application sought an extension of duration for a previously approved development of two semi-detached, three-bedroom houses with attic studies at a site adjacent to 2 Carrigmore Park, Tallaght. The Planning Authority refused the extension because no construction works had commenced on the site. Under current planning legislation, an extension cannot be granted unless substantial works have been completed or specific statutory criteria are met, which was not the case in this instance....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
