The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.
In the Cork County Development Plan 2022-2028, the existing dwelling is located in a designated High V alue Landscape which is visible from the Scenic Route S59. Having regard to the elevated and very prominent location of the existing dwelling and noting its scale/bulk and dominant presence in the landscape, it is considered that the addition of the proposed development would result in overdevelopment of the site and result in an incongrous, visually discordant feature that would seriously detract from the visual and scenic amenities of the area. The proposed development would be overbearing and overly dominant and would seriously injure the scenic amenities of this sensitive coastal landscape. It would be contrary to policy objectives GI 14-9 and GI 14-10 of the County Development Plan 2022-2028 which seek to protect the visual and scenic amenities of County Cork, would be contrary to policy objective GI 14-12 which seeks to preserve the character of all important views and contrary to policy objectives GI 14-13 and GI 14-14 which seek to protect the character of those views and prospects obtainable form scenic routes. Furthermore, it would seriously injure the residential amenities of adjoining properties in the vicinity by way of overbearing impact on same. Finally, it would set an undesirable precedent for similarly scaled developments in the vicinity. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to the policy objectives of the County Development Plan and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
