Rural Housing Need
Site lies in the countryside within an 'Area of Special Control' under strong urban pressure. Applicants did not satisfy CDP 3.11 criteria or prove a 'Local Rural Housing Need' to reside permanently at the location.
CDP Objective 3.11; Sustainable Rural Housing Guidelines (April 2005)The Planning Authority is not satisfied that the applicants comply with the criteria as set out under CDP Objective 3.11 of the Plan, and have not demonstrated a “Rural Housing Need” to reside at this location.
Traffic Sightlines
Site accesses a narrow minor road substandard in capacity, width, and alignment. Proposed entrance lacks adequate visibility splays, creating a traffic hazard. Achieving required sight distances would require removal of significant roadside boundaries, injuring visual amenity.
Sustainable Rural Housing Guidelines, Section 4.4 (April 2005)The proposed development by reason of the inadequate visibility splays at the proposed entrance would endanger public safety by reason of a traffic hazard.
