Refusal reasons

Rural Housing Need

Applicant failed to demonstrate compliance with the Council's rural housing policy for genuine rural housing need.

Section 3.16.2, Policy RH P1 of Carlow County Development Plan 2022-2028
The information submitted with the application fails to demonstrate that the applicant complies with the Council’s rural housing policy as set out in Section 3.16.2
Traffic Sightlines

Proposed site entrance lacks required sightlines, presenting a danger to road users and endangering public safety.

Figure 16.1, Table 16.5, Section 16.10.7 of Carlow County Development Plan 2022-2028
The proposed site entrance as identified on the site layout plan (Drawing No: 23-AMCL-PL-01) provides insufficient sightlines and therefore presents a danger to the applicant and other road users.
Design

Design and form of the dwelling contravenes rural design guidelines and would negatively impact the visual amenity of the sensitive rural area.

Policy RD P1 and Chapter 13 of Carlow County Development Plan 2022-2028
The design and form of the proposed dwelling is contrary to this policy and to the rural design guidelines set out in Chapter 13... represents a poorly conceived design response which would have a negative impact on the visual amenity of this sensitive rural area.
