The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.
The proposed site is in a visually sensitive prominent location in an area designated in the Cork County Development Plan 2022 as an area of High Value Landscape and having regard to the elevated and exposed nature of the subject site and the scale of the dwellinghouse and garage, it is considered that the proposed development would form an unduly obtrusive feature in the landscape and would be injurious to the visual and scenic amenities of the area. It is considered that the proposed development would materially contravene policy objective RP 5-22 and GI 14-9 of the Cork County Development Plan 2022 which seek to encourage new dwelling house design that fit appropriately into the landscape and to protect the visual and scenic amenities of County Cork’s built and natural environment. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The proposed site is located in a Rural Area under Strong Urban Influence as set out in the Cork County Development Plan 2022. The proposed development when taken in conjunction with existing development in the vicinity, would constitute an undesirable excessive concentration of suburban type of development in a rural area. The intensification of such a pattern of development, would militate against the preservation of the rural environment and lead to demands for the uneconomic extension of public facilities to the area. The proposed development would therefore not be in accordance with the Sustainable Rural Housing Guidelines published by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (2005) and Section 5.6.3 of the Cork County Development Plan 2022 and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
