The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.
The development at this location would contravene “Objective RHO 4” of the Mayo County Development Plan 2022-2028 which must ensure that development “Does not impinge in any significant way on the character, integrity and distinctiveness of the area, Cannot be considered at an alternative location, Meets high standards in siting and design, Satisfies all other criterial with regard to, inter alia, servicing, public safety, and environmental considerations Demonstrates enhancement to local landscape character and ecological connectivity” The proposed development would therefore set an undesirable precedent for similar type developments in scenic coastal areas , would interfere with the character of the landscape at this location, which it is necessary to preserve, and would, both by itself, and the precedent it would set, be contrary to the proper planning and development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 3The applicants have failed to satisfy Mayo County Council that the proposed development meets the criteria outlined in Objective RHO 4 of the Mayo County Development Plan 2022-2028, most especially with regard to the possibility of locating the development at a less visually sensitive location. The proposed development would therefore interfere with the character of the landscape at this location, which it is necessary to preserve, and be contrary to the proper planning and development of the area.
