Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development was refused primarily due to inadequate surface water management and drainage proposals which pose a flood risk, alongside significant deficiencies in transportation safety, site layout, and compliance with residential zoning objectives.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The surface water management strategy is technically insufficient, failing to meet GDSDS standards or demonstrate adequate soakaway capacity, which could result in flooding and injury to local residential amenity.

- The applicant failed to provide essential administrative and technical details, including a valid Part V proposal, a comprehensive landscaping plan, and necessary diversion agreements with Irish Water for existing infrastructure.
