Refusal reasons

Traffic Sightlines

Development located at cul-de-sac termination with no forward-only movements, generating reversing manoeuvres that endanger public safety.

Objective DMS94 (Fingal Development Plan 2017-2023)
The Montessori development seeking retention planning permission is located at the termination of a cul de sac with limited designated car parking and no potential for forward only movements and has the potential to generate significant increase in traffic and associated reversing manoeuvres which would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard.
Residential Amenity

Permitting the development would set an undesirable precedent for similar uses, cumulatively harming area amenities and contrary to proper planning.

RS Zoning Objective (Fingal Development Plan 2017-2023)
The development if permitted would set an undesirable precedent for other similar developments, which would cumulatively be harmful to the amenities of the area and be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
