Refusal decisions · 14–20 Sep 2026

1. The proposed application site overlaps with the site of application 20074053 which proposed a wastewater treatment system for the adjoining Ballineskar Cottage, a protected structure. Insufficient information has been submitted with regard to this to enable assessment of how the development could affect the wastewater management arrangements of adjoining property. As such the proposed development would be contrary to public health, Objective WW11 of Volume 1 and Section 3.1.2 of Volume 2 of the Wexford County Development Plan 2022 - 2028 and to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2. Insufficient information has been submitted with regard to existing and proposed ground levels on the site to enable full assessment of the visual impacts of the proposed development which lies in a coastal landscape. As such the proposed development would be contrary to Objectives L04 and L06 of Volume 1 and Section 3.1.2 of Volume 2 of the Wexford County Development Plan 2022 - 2028 and to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
3. Insufficient information has been submitted with regard to surface water management to establish that the development of the site would not give rise to discharges to the right-of-way or public road. As such the proposed development would be contrary to Section 9.11.11 of Volume 1 and Section 3.1.2 of Volume 2 of the Wexford County Development Plan 2022 - 2028 and to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
4. Insufficient information has been submitted with regard to intentions for the existing mobile home on the site to enable assessment of all aspects of the proposed development.

1. The proposed development fails to comply with policies and objectives of the South Dublin County Development Plan 2022–2028 in relation to riparian corridors, in particular Policy GI3 Objectives 1-3, Section 11.3.1 and Section 12.4.3 which seek to protect and promote native riparian vegetation along watercourses and requires a minimum 10-metre vegetated buffer zone, measured from the top of the riverbank. The proposed development is situated within 3.5 metres of the River Camac at its closest point, significantly encroaching into this riparian corridor, and it has not been demonstrated how the integrity of the riparian corridor can be maintained and enhanced having regard to flood risk management, biodiversity, ecosystem service provision, water quality and hydromorphology. Permitting development within this 10 metre buffer zone would compromise the ecological integrity of the riparian habitat, risk negative impacts on local biodiversity, and conflict with established Council policies governing the preservation of natural watercourses. Consequently, the proposed development is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2. AA and EIA Having regard to the nature and location of the proposal development, its proximity to the River Camac, which is a potential hydrological connection to Nature 2000 sites, and based on the level of information submitted which does not included screening nor a full environmental impact assessment nor appropriate assessment, the likelihood of significant effects on the environment and on Natura 2000 that may arise from the proposed development on its own or in combination with other developments cannot be ruled out at this stage. Consequently, the proposed development is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

1. Renovation and upgrade works to existing cottage including (i) New natural slate roof covering (ii) new doors and windows
2. Construction of proposed single storey and storey and a half type extensions to rear of existing dwelling
3. Decommission existing septic tank and replace with a Proprietary Wastewater Treatment Unit with a Tertiary Filter Proposed
4. Construction of new recessed entrance
5. All associated site works The Planning application may be inspected, or purchased at a fee not exceeding the reasonable cost of making a copy, at the offices of the planning authority during its public opening hours. A submission or observation in relation to the application may be made in writing to the planning authority on payment of the prescribed fee, €20, within the period of 5 weeks beginning on the date of receipt by the authority of the application, and such submissions or observations will be considered by the planning authority in making a decision on the application. The planning authority may grant permission subject to or without conditions, or may refuse to grant permission. Signed: Mark Daly BSc(Hons) B.Surv., BTech. Cons. Mgmt., HCert. Cons.

1. The subject site is located in an area designated as a Stronger Rural Area as per Table 4.4 of the Laois County Development Plan 2021-2027. As such the onus is on the Applicant to demonstrate that they comply with the rural housing policy of the Laois County Development Plan 2021-2027. On the basis of the information submitted, the Applicant has not demonstrated satisfactory compliance with the local need criteria as set out in Table 4.4 of the Laois County Development Plan 2021-2027. Accordingly, the proposed development would materially contravene the policies and objectives of the Laois County Development Plan 2021-2027 and would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2. Having regard to the rural design principles outlined in Policy RH 10, Policy DM RH 1 and Appendix 7 ‘Rural Design Guidance’ of the Laois County Development Plan 2021-2027, it is considered that the proposed dwelling does not adhere to these standards and provisions. It is considered that the proposed log cabin style development would, if granted permission, seriously injure the visual amenity of the area and set an undesirable precedent for the construction of other such developments in the area. Accordingly, the proposed development would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
3. Having regard to the vehicular access to the site which is located on the Local Tertiary Road L-78321-0 and the absence of adequate sightlines of 3m x 60m, as required under the provisions of the Laois County Development Plan 2021- 2027, to comply with the Roads and Parking Standards 2007, the proposed development would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard, the obstruction of road users and would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

Based on the information submitted with the application, the Planning Authority is not satisfied that the effluent arising from the proposed development could be adequately disposed of on site. The nl proposed development would, therefore, be prejudicial to public health. Therefore, the proposed O development would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area es os rp Pu n io ct pe ns -I ity or th Au ng ni an Pl rry Ke

1. The proposed development is located within an area of the County with the ‘RS’ Residential zoning objective which seeks to ‘provide for residential development and protect and improve residential amenity’ in the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029. The proposed development as presented fails to comply with Section 14.10.3 Family Flats, Policy SPQHP42 and Objective SPQHO46 of the Fingal Development Plan as no details have been submitted regarding the need and future occupants of the family flat, whilst the detached nature and minimal relationship with the existing property would have the characteristics of a separate dwelling. The proposed dwelling is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2. The proposed development would be contrary to SPPR 2 of the Sustainable Residential Development and Compact Settlements Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2024) which requires a minimum of 30sqm of private open space for a 2-bedroom dwelling.

The application site is open to an adjoining site which appears to be under the ownership of a family member of the applicant and there is a structure which appears to be in use as a dwelling on this wider family landholding. By virtue of the foregoing, the Planning Authority are not satisfied the applicant has demonstrated they fully comply with the requirements of Table 3.5 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 and thus, are also not satisfied the applicant has demonstrated they fully comply with Objective SPQHO81 of the Development Plan and the requirements of the Councils Rural Settlement Strategy. Furthermore, until the planning status of this dwelling on the wider family landholding is clarified, the granting of permission for another rural dwelling on the applicants family lands would be premature and would set an undesirable precedent. The proposed development would materially contravene the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 and, therefore, would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

The architectural expression of the original dwelling is considered to contribute to the character of the Marlborough Road Architectural Conservation Area. It is considered that the proposed development including the bulk, massing and scale of the two storey side extension is excessive, does not read as subsidiary to the main structure and does not allow the original structure to remain clearly legible from the proposed extension elements and will therefore have a negative impact on the character and appearance of the original dwelling located in the Marlborough Road Architectural Conservation Area. Accordingly, the proposed development would be contrary to Policy Objective HER13, HER21 and Section 12.11.4 of the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan, 2022-2028. Therefore to permit the proposed works would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development in the area.

1. The proposed development, having regard to levels and contours requiring significant excavation, which has resulted in a poorly designed stepped retaining wall, creating a substandard transition between the existing development to the west of the site and the proposed development in the form of large stepped retaining wall, and where a suitable design solution has not been achieved to minimise the impact on the scheme layout and its main area of public open space, and the substandard design of the dwellings and maisonette units, the proposed development would be contrary to Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029 objective UD 01 which requires ‘a high standard of urban design to be integrated into the design and layout of all new development and ensure compliance with the principles of healthy placemaking”. Furthermore, in the absence of a coherent and rational approach to key indicators of quality design and placemaking, the proposal would be contrary to the principles of the Section 28 Ministerial Guidelines on Sustainable Residential Development in Urban Areas and the Compact Settlements Guidelines (2024) therefore would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2. The application site is in close proximity to the Royal Canal, a proposed Natural Heritage Area, the proposed development requires significant excavation where the substantial presence of an invasive species (Japanese Knotweed) has been identified and where an Invasive Species Management Plan [in order to comply with the provisions of the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011-2015 requiring explicit biosecurity measures, chosen treatment methods, and licensed disposal pathways] has not accompanied the application. It has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority that the proposed development will not result in significant environmental degradation and the proliferation of a harmful invasive species. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Objective BI 058 of the Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029 and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
3. Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029 (as varied) objective TMO 117 seeks to ensure there is appropriate EV charging facilities for residential developments; objective TM O124 seeks to provide sufficient public lighting; objective TM O20 seeks to ensue appropriate permeability through developments and policy TM P7 seeks to ensure that the safety and capacity of the local road network is maintained. Having regard to the substandard provision of EV charging facilities, the lack of public lighting provided on Connaught Street, no permeability from the site to The Crescent, Ledwill Park, and the poor alignment and insufficient road widening on Connaught Street it is considered the proposed development contravenes objectives TM O 117, TM O124, TM O20 and policy TM P7 of the Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029, would constitute a substandard form of development and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
4. Insufficient information has been submitted with regard to inter alia, cross-sectional drawings, contiguous drawings, and the disposal of excavation material where there is a known invasive species on site to enable the Planning Authority to adequately assess the impact of the proposed development on surrounding residential amenity, the character of the area and the environment. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and development of the area.

1. The vehicular entrance serving the proposed development joins the heavily trafficked N84 National Road at an unimproved section of single carriageway where the maximum speed limit of 100km/h applies. Based on the information submitted, the submission received from TII, an intensification of use proposed, the absence of demonstrating compliant and satisfactory entry and exit sightlines from the proposed entrance in accordance with TII standards and DM Standard 28 of the Galway County Development Plan 2022-2028, and in the absence of Transport and Traffic Assessments and a Road Safety Audit, in conjunction with the consideration of the N84 road layout that entails a continuous white line at midpoint of carriageway, the sub optimum vertical and horizontal alignment in the immediate vicinity of proposed development entrance coupled with the substandard visibility pertaining to generated turning movements that would arise as a result of the proposed development and proximity of junction with the L6132, the development contravenes National Policy the DoECLG Spatial Planning and National Roads Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2012) and policy objectives NR 1, NR 3 and NR 4 respectively and DM Standards 26 and 28 of the Galway County Development Plan 2022-2028. Therefore, it is considered that if permitted as proposed, the development would interfere with the safety and free flow of traffic on the public road and would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard, obstruction of road users, or otherwise, and therefore would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2. The proposed development is located directly off the N84 national secondary road and within the GCTPS area, where consideration is given to the need of farm families to live on the family holding on a limited basis and to the functional need to live at this location. In this instance, based on the information submitted, it is considered the applicant has failed to satisfy the housing need requirements set out in policy objectives RH 2 and RH15 of the Galway County Development Plan 2022-2028. Accordingly, to grant approval for the proposed development would contravene policy objectives RH2 & RH15 and DM Standard 26 of the current County Development Plan, would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard, obstruction of road users or otherwise on a strategic restricted route and would thus be contrary the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. 2

1. Considering that the proposed development applies to a site section of the previously approved development under planning Ref. No. 24/61556, and with conditional permission granted on the 11th of November 2025, which is a live permission, to permit the proposed development would materially contravene the terms of the parent file reference no. 24/61556 and would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2. Having regard to placemaking and design quality of the proposed development, it is considered that the siting, scale and building line footprint of the proposed development is incongruous with adjoining development, generating a visual impact which is contrary to Policy Objectives PM 1 – Placemaking, PM 8 – Character and Identity and PM10 – Design Quality of Galway Development Plan 2022-2028 and which would set an undesirable precedent for similar future development in the area. Also, the proposed development, by reason of the confined site configuration and deficient site layout design, poor quality of architectural design and private open space provision for the proposed residential units, would constitute a substandard quality of residential design and layout, which would be seriously injurious to the residential amenities of prospective occupants and to the character of place at this location. Therefore, if permitted as proposed, it would detract from the visual and general amenity of the prevailing environs and would materially contravene the policy objectives and development management standards of the current county development plan and would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
3. In the absence of sufficient information on the traffic management on site, it is considered that the proposed development would seriously infringe on visibility lines required in connection with the proposed parking spaces which are accessed from the existing carriageway serving the residential estate and which, consequently, would generate potential traffic hazards within the estate grounds. It is therefore considered that the proposed development would interfere with the safety and free flow of traffic and endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard, obstruction of road users or otherwise and therefore would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
4. Noting that the landscaping plan provided does not reflect the site layout and design of the proposed development, it is considered that the application as submitted offers no information as to the extent and intended finishes of the external spaces for the proposed development, nor satisfactory details as to their intended landscape treatment, with regard to proposed planting and/or retention of existing mature vegetation on site. To grant permission to the proposed development would materially contravene DM Standards 2, 11 and 47 of Galway County Development Plan 2022-2028 and would therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. 2

1. The subject site is zoned GE General Employment with the objective to provide opportunities for general enterprise and employment. The supporting vision for the GE General Employment zoning objective seeks to facilitate opportunities for compatible industry and general employment uses including appropriate sustainable employment and enterprise uses, logistics and warehousing activity in a good quality physical environment. General Employment areas should be highly accessible, well designed, permeable, and legible within the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029. The nature of the worker residential accommodation sought for retention, by virtue of its incompatibility with the zoning and existing surrounding land uses, results in the unsustainable and uneconomical use of the subject site which prejudices the objective and the broader vision of the GE General Employment lands. In this regard, the development sought for retention materially contravenes the "GE" General Employment zoning objective and conflicts with Policy EEP2 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 and will set an inappropriate precedent for other similar forms of development. The development is therefore contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2. The modular and mobile home units serving as worker accommodation, by virtue of their design and appearance, represent a form of ad-hoc, haphazard development of a poor-quality aesthetic which adversely impacts the visual amenity of the receiving environment. Furthermore, the modular and mobile home units, by virtue of their layout and arrangement, represent a serious form of substandard residential living. In this regard, the development materially contravenes the GE General Employment zoning objective, conflicts with Objective DMSO89 and Table 14:15 of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 and will set an inappropriate precedent for other similar forms of development. The development is therefore contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

Having regard to the prevailing single-storey character of dwellings along this section of Cromwellsfort Road, the proposed side and rear extension, by reason of its scale, form and siting along the shared boundary with No. 101 Cromwellsfort Road, would appear unduly dominant and overbearing when viewed from the adjoining property. The proposed development would detract from the visual amenities of the area, fail to integrate satisfactorily with the existing dwelling and surrounding pattern of development, and would adversely affect the residential amenities of adjoining occupiers. The proposal would therefore be contrary to the guidance contained in Appendix 18 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area

1. Having regard to the absence of sufficient detail in the planning application drawings and particulars relating to proposed site infrastructure, processing and facilities for a proposed development of this nature including measures for ground and surface water protection and monitoring to prevent hazardous material from entering the environment; to the absence of a baseline ecological report of the site to adequately describe the receiving environment and to assess potential ecological impacts; to the absence of sufficient information to assess the impacts of operational noise, dust emissions, and traffic generation on existing amenities of the area which includes a number of third party dwellings in close proximity to the site; and to the absence of an appropriate level of assessment of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed development in combination with existing permitted development in the wider quarry site, it is considered that the proposed development would, therefore, be contrary to Objectives GW01, GW04, GW06, WQG03, NHDS1, NH8 and IN4 of the Cavan County Development Plan 2022 – 2028 and to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2. The Planning Authority is not fully satisfied that the proposed development, assessed on its own or in combination with other plans or projects, would not be likely to have a significant impact on a designated European Site having regard to the probability of surface water from the site entering the Erne River which is a hydrological connection to Lough Oughter and Associated Loughs SAC and Lough Oughter Complex SPA. The proposed development is, therefore, considered contrary to Objectives NHDS1, and NH1 of the Cavan County Development Plan 2022 – 2028 and therefore to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

An extension of appropriate period is not granted under Section 42 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, on the basis that substantial works have not been carried out, as required under section 42 (1)(a)(i)(III) of the Planning and Development Act, 2000, as amended.

Policy 13-1 of the Tipperary County Development Plan 2022 seeks to encourage and support the sympathetic restoration, re-use and maintenance of protected structures thereby ensuring their conservation and protection. Policy 7.5 of the Thurles & Environs Local Area Plan 2024 seeks to preserve structures and features of architectural and historic interest which add to the character and appearance of the town. Having regard to: • The designation of the building to which the application relates as a Protected Structure TRPS 2413. • The significant limitations with the Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment (AHIA) which do not adequately assess the impact of the development on the character and special interest of the protected structures. • The above references policies of the Tipperary County Development Plan 2022 and Thurles and Environs Local Area Plan 2024 It is considered that the proposed development would not result in the sympathetic restoration, re-use and maintenance of the building which is a Protected Structure and would not preserve the features of interest associated with this structure. The proposed development would conflict with Policy 7.5 of the Thurles Local Area Plan 2024 and Policy 13-1 of the Tipperary County Development Plan 2022-2028. The proposal if permitted would create an undesirable precedent for similar proposals of this nature and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

1. The existing unauthorised arrangement of bin stores for houses 2, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11 The Square is haphazard and has resulted in unacceptable unauthorised removal of hedgerows in contravention of the original permission and SDCC’s Green Infrastructure Policy (Policy GI1 of the South Dublin County Development Plan 2022 – 2028), and would, therefore be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
2. The additional parking spaces are both (i) unjustified and (ii) excessive in comparison to SDCC’s maximum parking rates contained in the County Development Plan and result in the loss of street trees which is unjustified and is not supported. Furthermore, the proposed provision of planter boxes is prejudicial to pedestrian comfort and safety and road safety due the obstructions that would be created for pedestrians and in particular mobility impaired persons, and would not conform to SDCC’s taking in charge requirements. For the above stated reasons, this element of the proposal would undermine the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

The subject site is located in open countryside that is identified as a ‘Area Under Strong Urban Influence’ in the Offaly County Development Plan 2021-2027. In such areas it is development plan policy that certain categories of applicants, which are defined in policy SSP-27 of the County Development Plan, will be given a positive presumption for the development of a permanent rural home. The Council considers that the applicant does not comply with policy SSP-27 as the applicant has previously owned a house in the open countryside and accordingly the proposed development would materially contravene the Offaly County Development Plan 2021-2027, and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. ************************** Page 1 of 1

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 documentary evidence submitted with the application, it is considered that the applicant does not 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, as they have not demonstrated in the documentation submitted that they have resided within the local rural area for a period of at least 10 years. 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.

The storage shed for which retention is sought, is located in an area where the stated zoning objective in the Newbridge Settlement Plan (Variation 2 of the Kildare County Development Plan 2023- 2029) is ‘B - Existing Residential and Infill, - to protect and enhance the amenity of established residential communities and promote sustainable intensification. The scale and design of the shed structure at a stated gross floor area of 68sqm, would be contrary to Section 15.4.13 of the Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029 (as varied) which requires that the floor area shall not exceed 40sqm and would therefore be excessive for purposes ancillary to the enjoyment of the dwelling house. Accordingly, to permit the retention of a 68sqm storage shed would be contrary to section 15.4.13 of the Kildare County Development Plan 2023-2029 (as varied), would contravene materially the zoning objective pertaining to the site which is to protect and enhance the amenity of established residential communities and promote sustainable intensification, would seriously injure the amenities and depreciate the value of property in the vicinity and set an undesirable precedent for similar development in the area and be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

Given the extent of the overall existing unauthorized development on site, the Planning Authority is not satisfied that the proposed retention of the garage extension: would not result in substandard development; would not comply with the Home-Based Economic Activity Policy 9.7.5 or Objective KCDP 9-51 in the Kerry County Development Plan 2022-2028 and; would also set an unwanted precedent for similar such development in the rural area. The proposed development would, therefore, be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

Reasons not yet available here. View the official case.

By virtue of its design, scale, mass and form, the proposed rear extension is considered unacceptable and does not comply with Policy SPQHP41- Residential Extensions and Objective SPQH045 Domestic Extensions and does not comply with Section 14.10.2 Residential Extensions of the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 which requires that the design and layout of residential extensions must have regard to and protect the amenities of adjoining properties in addition to regard to the character and form of the existing building, and its architectural expression. The proposed garage fails to accord with Section 14.10.4 of the Development Plan by virtue of its size and scale, and the failure to demonstrate that the shed would not detract from the residential amenities of adjoining properties. The proposed development would set an undesirable precedent for developments of a similar nature and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. Advice Note As part of any future Planning Applications, the applicant is required to clarify any commercial or home based activities operating from the subject site.

1. The proposal comprises of substandard apartment units and lack of private open space which would not accord with the minimum requirements of the Design Standards for Apartments, Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2025), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and would result in an unacceptable poor level of amenity and facilities afforded to future occupiers of the scheme by way of layout and design. The proposal would constitute overdevelopment of the site, contravene the zoning objective of the site in providing adequate residential development and contravene the provisions of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022 – 2028. The proposal would set an undesirable precedent for similar type development and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

Having regard to the nature, location and context of the site, the character and general pattern of development of the surrounding area, and the policies and objectives of the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 (as varied), it is considered that by reason of its scale, design and bulk, the proposed development would represent overdevelopment of a small, restricted site, which would be out of character with the surrounding development and would seriously injure the amenities of the area and of adjoining properties. The proposed development would, therefore, be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
