Refusal reasons
- See footnote at the end of this document for details of
- The proposed development is partly located in an area where the stated zoning in the Laois County Development Plan 2021-2027, is Open Space / Amenity, the objective of which is to preserve, provide for and improve active and passive recreational public and private open space. The purpose of this zone is that ‘the areas included in this zoning objective cover both private and public open space and are dispersed throughout urban centres of every size. The Council will not normally permit development that would result in a loss of open space’. The proposed development which would be partly located within this Open Space/Amenity zoning, would be materially contrary to this zoning objective. Accordingly, the proposed development would be contrary to the provisions of the Laois County Development Plan 2021-2027 and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
- The proposed development is located in an area which is at risk of flooding (Flood Zone A and Flood Zone B), as indicated in the Laois County Council Strategic Flood Risk Assessment in the Laois County Development Plan 2021- 2027 and the Office of Public Works Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management mapping. The proposed development, which constitutes a highly vulnerable type of development in relation to flood risk, would therefore be contrary to the provisions of the Planning System and Flood Risk Management Guidelines [DoEHLG, 2009) and to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
