The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.
Based on the information submitted, the Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the principle of development is acceptable at this location as the applicant has not provided robust justification for a new entrance along a regional road. Having regard to the lack of adequate information regarding the use of the subject lands and lands within the control of the applicant within this application, the lack of evidence of approval of use of the lands by Dept. Agriculture Food and the Marine, the admission of existing adequate access to the site within the documentation to the Department and the existing access to the site currently in use by the applicant along the regional road, the Planning Authority are not satisfied with the justification for the proposed development and consider the principle of development unacceptable at this sensitive location. The subject development, as proposed, is therefore not considered acceptable in principle or in accordance with sustainable planning and development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The Planning Authority is not amenable to the removal of the existing mature trees and hedgerow along the regional road to facilitate the development. This proposal is therefore considered not in accordance with DM Standard 47: Field Patterns, Stone Walls, Trees and Hedgerows of the Galway County Development Plan 2022-2028 and is therefore not considered in accordance with sustainable planning and development.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The Planning Authority are not satisfied that the proposed development of a new entrance onto the regional road meets sightline requirements of the Galway County Development Plan 2022- 2028 and therefore poses a road and traffic safety risk as the sightline measurements/exit visibility checks were not taken from 2.4m from the edge of the carriageway. The proposal therefore is not in accordance with DM Standard 28: Sight Distances Required for Access onto National, Regional, Local and Private Roads and poses a road and traffic safety risk and is therefore not considered in accordance with sustainable planning and development of the area.
