The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.

  1. Section 2.13 (Volume 2) of the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028 states that all signage proposals within an Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) should be in keeping with the character of the buildings and adhere to best conservation principles. The proposed digital sign, by reason of its scale, dominant position and visibility, would be injurious to the character and amenities of this sensitive streetscape and create visual clutter within the Gorey Town ACA. The development would therefore be inconsistent with Section 2.13 (Volume 2) of the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028, would set an undesirable precedent and be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

  2. It is considered by reason of its scale, dominant position and visibility of this digital advertising sign at this busy junction off the R772 that the proposed development has potential to create hinderance and distraction to public road vehicle users. The development would therefore be inconsistent with Section 2.13 (Volume 2) of the Wexford County Development Plan 2022-2028, would set an undesirable precedent and be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
