Planning analysis

Refusal reasons and planning conditions extracted from the public decision file.

Refusal reasons

Rural Housing Need

Applicant did not prove a rural-generated housing need for the location, materially contravening development plan policy.

Cavan County Development Plan 2014-2020, Sections 2.7.4 & 2.7.5, Objective RHO8
applicant has not demonstrated a rural generated housing need at this location
Wastewater Percolation

Poor soil conditions mean the site cannot be satisfactorily drained by an individual effluent treatment unit and percolation area, prejudicing public health.

EPA Code of Practice Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems Serving Single Houses
existing soil conditions are poor... site can be drained satisfactorily by means of individual effluent treatment unit and percolation area
Zoning Contravention

Proposing two dwellings on a single site contravenes the objective that rural applications must be for individual dwelling houses only.

Cavan County Development Plan 2014-2020, Objective RHO3
proposal to construct 2 no. dwellings on the site... materially contravenes... Objective RHO3
