Planning scale and individual notice or phase quantities remain separate. Notice quantities are not added into a development total or completion percentage.
The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.

There is a significant watercourse abutting the northern and western boundaries of the site (the Delvin River). The proposed development does not take account of the extent and path of the river; and fails to provide for the required minimum 48m wide, development free, riparian buffer strip to this significant watercourse with several aspects of the proposal being located within the required buffer zone. The applicant has also failed to demonstrate how the integrity of the riparian corridor will be maintained and enhanced in terms of flood risk management, biodiversity, ecosystem service provision, water quality and hydromorphology; and no hydromorphological assessment has been undertaken/submitted. The proposed development would contravene section 14.20.5 and Objectives DMSO154, DMSO160, DMSO210, IUO14 & IUO26 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 and, therefore, would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The proposed 6m wide access road is considered to represent urban type road infrastructure that would result in a permanent feature on the landscape given its excessive length (approx. 250m) and, in this regard, the proposed development would fail to protect and provide for a greenbelt, or prevent countryside encroachment, as required by the "GB" land-use zoning objective and vision. Furthermore, given the absence of adequate levels of detail submitted with the planning application, the Planning Authority are not satisfied the applicant has demonstrated the proposal would not result in undue negative impacts on the visual or rural amenities of the area. The proposed development would materially contravene the "GB" land-use zoning objective and vision of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 and, therefore, would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The proposed development fails to demonstrate sightlines in accordance with Transport Infrastructure Ireland’s (TII) DN-GEO-03060 guidance requirements have been provided and the indicated sightlines are obscured by the existing vegetation and the proposed entrance wall. The proposed development is therefore considered to represent a traffic hazard which would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area
