Core Refusal Reason
Failure to demonstrate a rural housing need in an Area under Strong Urban Influence and prematurity due to the site's location within a planned national road upgrade corridor.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant failed to sufficiently demonstrate a locational requirement to reside in this rural area, which is designated as an 'Area under Strong Urban Influence'.
- The proposed development would be contrary to Objective RH01 of the Wexford County Development Plan, which seeks to restrict one-off housing to preserve rural character and amenities.
- The development is considered premature as the site falls within the preferred route corridor for the Oylegate to Rosslare Harbour N11/N25 road upgrade.

Decision Document Summary
The proposal involved the erection of a fully serviced dwelling house at Ballymorris, Carrick. The Planning Authority refused the application on two primary grounds: first, the applicant did not meet the criteria for rural housing in an 'Area under Strong Urban Influence' as required by the Wexford County Development Plan; and second, the site's location within the preferred route corridor for the N11/N25 upgrade makes any development premature until the road project is finalized....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
