Erection of a dwelling with attached garage

Refusal Reasons

• ✗The submitted plans do not include sufficient information on drainage or levels for the decision maker to be able to determine that the proposed development will not have an adverse impact on the area in accordance with General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan.
• ✗The submitted plans indicate that a very significant number of trees on site will be removed as part of the application without either any justification nor authority through the approval in principle. On the contrary, the approval in principle required there to be a detailed survey of existing trees and measures for their protection during construction as well as provision for new planting, none of which is shown in the proposed plans. As such the proposal is contrary to conditions 5 and 6 of the approval in principle and would have a seriously damaging impact on the attractiveness and ecological interest of the site and its contribution to St. John's village.
