The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.
The proposed development seeks the retention of an unauthorised structure i.e. dwelling, however it does not meet the criteria and policies of the Fingal Rural Housing Settlement Strategy Rural Generated Housing need. With regard to change of use, no evidence has been submitted to demonstrate any active use (including agricultural use) at the application site. The application submission fails to demonstrate how the development to be retained would either protect or promote in a balanced way, the development of agriculture and rural related enterprise, or the built and cultural heritage of the area. The development is therefore considered unacceptable in principle having regard to the RU zoning objective of the Fingal Development Plan, 2023-2029, and would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The proposed development, by reason of its design and finish which includes features more accustomed to a residential dwelling, would not be suitable in this rural location or acceptable as a permanent structure on the site in the long term given its prefabricated nature. The development would be seriously injurious to the rural amenities of the surrounding area. The development proposed and for retention is therefore considered to be in direct conflict with Objectives DMSO100, DMSO101 and DMSO102 of the Fingal Development Plan, would set an undesirable precedent, and, would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The applicant has provided insufficient information to show that the existing site access has been designed appropriately to allow for safe traffic movement for agricultural vehicles, or any traffic movements to and from the site. The development is therefore considered to comprise a serious traffic hazard given the proximity of the site access to the four-way junction to the south of the site. The development subject of this application is therefore considered contrary to Objective DMSO118 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029, and contrary to the proper and sustainable development of the area.
