The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.

  1. The proposed development would result in a fifth house within a continuous 250m section of road within a rural area which would constitute ribbon development in this rural area to the detriment of the rural character of the area and would be likely to give rise to demands for the provision of urban type services which would be both uneconomic and inappropriate to provide. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to the Sustainable Rural Housing Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2005), Table DM5 of the Limerick Development Plan (2022-2028) and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

  2. The site of the proposed development is located within the Area of Strong Urban Influence as defined in the Limerick Development Plan 2022-2028. Based on the absence of documentary evidence submitted with the application to demonstrate compliance with housing policy, the Planning Authority are not satisfied that the applicant would come within the scope of the housing need criteria as set out in Objective HO 020 (Rural Areas under Strong Urban Influence) of the Development Plan, and as such, the proposed development would materially contravene the objectives of the Limerick Development Plan 2022-2028 in relation to rural settlement and be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
