Evidence
Only exact linked records appear here. A missing appeal, commencement or completion entry means that evidence has not been established on this page. It does not prove that the event never happened.
Planning scale and individual notice or phase quantities remain separate. Notice quantities are not added into a development total or completion percentage.
The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.
Source note: The assessment mentions both the North-West Irish Sea SPA and Rogerstown Estuary SAC/SPA. The adopted first ground expressly names the North-West Irish Sea SPA (004236). This source wording is retained without resolving the geographical descriptions.
Based on the dearth of information submitted, the location of the development proposed on site and its proximity to an existing watercourse which flows downstream into the North-West Irish Sea SPA (004236) via the Bracken river, it is concluded that in the absence of a Screening for Appropriate Assessment as part of the application there is a gap in the information available to the Planning Authority and it is not possible to conclude with certainty whether or not the proposed development either individually or in combination with other plans or projects, in view of best scientific knowledge and in view of the sites’ conservation objectives, would be likely to have a significant effect on any designated European Sites (in particular the North-West Irish Sea SPA (004236)). The development as proposed, is therefore contrary to Objective DMSO1 of the Fingal Development Plan, and contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 12Having regard to the lack of adequate proposals submitted with respect to the wastewater treatment system, surface water drainage and the absence of a flood risk assessment as required under the Planning System and Flood Risk Management Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2009), the proposed development would be prejudicial to the outer groundwater drinking water protection zone for Bog of the Ring, public health and the amenity of the surrounding area as the applicant has not demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority that the proposed wastewater treatment and surface water drainage arrangements are adequate or that the development would not be at risk of flooding. The development, as proposed, is therefore contrary to Policy GINHP19 and Objectives DMSO160, DMSO203, DMSO212, DMSO215, IUO16 of the Fingal Development Plan, and contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 12The proposed development for retention and permission is located within 10m of a watercourse and thus, does not provide for an adequate buffer from the Bracken River as required by Objectives DMSO154, DMSO156, DMSO210 & IUO26 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029. The proposed development would contravene the above-named Objectives of the current Development Plan and, therefore, would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
