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

Source note: The assessment states an existing area of 195 m², an extension of 126 m² and a completed total of 316 m². Those figures do not add up as printed; no corrected total or component has been substituted.

  1. The development is located on lands zoned GB-Greenbelt under the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 where the zoning objective seeks to protect and provide for a Greenbelt. The proposed development, seeking an extension of an existing childcare facility is permitted within the GB zoning in circumstances where it is demonstrated that the use is ancillary to the use of the dwelling as a main residence. Having regard to the size and scale of the childcare facility proposed, its location and functional relationship to the host dwelling together with existing access arrangements, it is considered that the development if permitted would no longer be considered ancillary to the existing dwelling on site which would contravene the Greenbelt zoning objective and would result in the unreasonable intensification of extensions onsite contrary to objective Z03 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029. The proposal would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

  2. Insufficient Information/justification has been provided by the applicant in relation to the extension of the existing childcare facility to fully assess the proposed development in terms of its impact on the residential amenity of the existing dwelling and surrounding area which would not be considered acceptable. Therefore, to permit the proposed development in the absence of sufficient justification and details regarding the proposed operation would set a precedent for further substandard development in this location which would be highly inappropriate and contrary to the GB- Greenbelt zoning objective which seeks to Protect and provide for a Greenbelt, DMSO79 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

  3. The proposed development would endanger public safety by reason of serious traffic hazard because the applicant has provided insufficient information to show that the proposed entrance on site has been designed appropriately to allow for safe traffic movement. The development is therefore contrary to Objective DMSO118 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029, and contrary to the proper and sustainable development of the area.
