Significant further information/revised plans submitted on this application
Refusal reason
The site serves as a gateway to the centre of Trim. The proposed design is incongruous with the streetscape and surrounding residential properties and of insufficient architectural quality, particularly in this sensitive location adjacent to an Architectural Conservation Area. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed development, by virtue of its design at this location would negatively impact on the setting of the Trim Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) and would therefore contravene materially objective y! HER POL 20 of the Meath County Development Plan 2021-2027 which reads as follows; nl “HER POL 20 To require that all development proposals within or contiguous to an ACA be sympathetic O to the character of the area, that the design is appropriate in terms of height, scale, plot density, layout, s materials and finishes and are appropriately sited and designed with regard to the advice given in the se Statements of Character for each area, where available”. po The proposed development would therefore adversely affect an Architectural Conservation Area, set an undesirable precedent and be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. r Pu g in w ie -V il nc ou C y nt ou C th ea M
