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 would contribute to the already extensive ribbon development and give rise to a build-up of development in this rural area which is lacking in certain services and community facilities. The proposed development, would therefore, be detrimental to the rural character of the area and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 3The site of the proposed development is located within the Area of Strong Urban Influence as defined in the Limerick Development Plan 2022-2028. It is considered that the applicant does not come within the scope of the housing need criteria as set out in Objective HO O20 (Rural Areas under Strong Urban Influence) of the Development Plan as they are already in receipt of a grant of permission for a dwelling under application 23/60073 and as such, the proposed development would materially contravene the objectives of the Limerick Development Plan 2022-2028 in relation to rural settlement, militate against the preservation of the rural environment and be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 3The proposed dwelling, scale, height and its mock-Georgian design approach on a greenfield rural site, would appear visually obtrusive and out of character with the prevailing pattern of predominantly single-storey dwellings in the vicinity, and would fail to integrate satisfactorily into the receiving landscape. The proposed development would therefore fail to safeguard the sensitivity and distinctiveness of the relevant landscape character area, contrary to Policy EH P8 of the Limerick Development Plan 2022–2028 and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 3In the absence of appropriate documentation and required sightlines, the Planning Authority can not be satisfied that the proposed development would not endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard because the traffic movements generated by the proposed development where the sightlines are restricted would interfere with the safety and free flow of traffic on the public road.
