Refusal reasons and planning conditions extracted from the public decision file.Refusal reasons
Zoning Contravention
Development contravenes the 'Existing/Infill Residential' zoning objective and CDP backland development policies. The layout is non-integrated and piecemeal due to constrained site dimensions, poor separation distances, and inadequate private open space.
Carlow County Development Plan 2022-2028 (CDP) Section 3.15, Policy UL P1, Section 16.8.8non-integrated, piecemeal, and a substandard form of development
Residential Amenity
Proposed building heights and separation distances to adjoining western properties would harm residential amenity and depreciate property values, setting an undesirable precedent for backland development.
CDP Section 3.15, Policy UL P1adversely affect the residential amenity of the existing adjoining residential properties to the west fronting Hanover Road
Traffic Sightlines
Adequate entrance sightlines for egress onto Hanover Road have not been demonstrated, creating a traffic hazard and endangering public safety.
CDP Section 16.10.7It has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority that adequate sightlines are available at the entrance to the site when egressing onto the adjoining public road
