Approval in principle for the erection of four detached dwellings

Refusal Reasons

• ✗The application site, located on the edge of built development, and in an area classed as open countryside in the 1982 Development Plan Order, is visible from the adjacent former railway line and Glen Darragh Road. The development of this area would be contrary to the zoning of the site and introduce development in an open and attractive area, contrary to the aims of the Order and Planning Circular 1/88 which states such areas are intended to remain substantially free from development.
• ✗The development of this site would prejudice the preparation of a development plan for this area and establish a precedent for further development on undesignated land, both within the immediate vicinity and elsewhere on the Island.
• ✗From the information submitted, it would appear that the development offers inadequate visibility splays to serve the needs of the development onto Glen Darragh Road.
