The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.
Having regard to Section 15.4.12 and Appendix 4 (Rural House Design Guide) of the Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029, the proposed development, by reason of its scale, form and siting, would result in a visually dominant structure that would not integrate satisfactorily into the landscape and would be out of character with the rural setting of the area. The plans and particulars submitted indicate that significant filling, regrading and levelling of the site would be required. As such, the proposal fails to respond appropriately to the natural topography of the site and would result in excessive and visually intrusive site works. Furthermore, the development would not represent an enhancement of the site and, notwithstanding the limited architectural merit of the existing structure, would fail to achieve a design that responds appropriately to the character and sensitivities of the rural landscape. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Section 15.4.12 and Appendix 4 of the Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029 and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The proposed garage, by reason of its height, scale and floor area would be contrary to the provisions of Section 15.4.13 of the Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029, would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments of this scale and nature of the rural area and would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
