Evidence
Only exact linked records appear here. A missing appeal, commencement or completion entry means that evidence has not been established on this page. It does not prove that the event never happened.
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.
The proposed development will result in traffic queuing on the Midleton Northern Relief road to access the subject development. This is an important transport corridor needed to cater for larger residential expansion in the area. While the submitted traffic assessment may on its own allow for mitigations to accessing the subject site, it is likely to impact on the enduring function of the relief road as an essential transport corridor for existing and future planned development. Accordingly the proposed development, if permitted, would endanger public safety by impacting the free flow of traffic and causing the obstruction of road users.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The proposal involves the development of a drive through coffee kiosk on lands zoned “Business and General Employment” and “Existing Mixed/General Business/Industrial Uses” under the provisions of the County Development Plan (CDP) 2022. Policy objective ZU 18-17 seeks to ‘promote the development of town centres and neighbourhood centres as the primary locations for retail and uses of this nature that provide goods or services principally to visiting members of the public. Similarly. S 3.3.63 of the CDP identifies “Midleton T -01 as the priority area for new retail uses..”. Having regard to the zoning objective for the site, policy objective ZU 18-17 and having regard to the location of the proposed development outside of town centre or designated retail/neighbourhood areas, it is considered that the proposal, if permitted would constitute an inappropriate departure from the core zoning objective. The granting of permission for this use at this location will create an undesirable precedent for similar type developments which cumulatively, would be likely to conflict with town centre policy ZU 18-17 which seeks to ensure the vitality and viability of the town centre, would generate addition car orientated trips on the road network not designed for this purpose. The proposals therefore conflicts with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
