ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note: A pre-application consultation did not take place. You and/or your assigned agent should liaise
with Planning Section prior to the preparation and submission of this Further Information.
The submission should take a coherent account of issues that overlap/interlink.
No inference is given in requesting this Further Information that planning permission will ultimately
be forthcoming.
Should the Further Information materially/significantly alter the proposed development, you are
obliged to re-advertise same in accordance with Article 35 of the Planning and Development
Regulations 2001 (as amended).
1.
Having examined the submitted plans, the Planning Authority notes that the proposed
development comprises a dispersed internal layout across multiple detached buildings, four
bedrooms all with ensuites, several communal‑type rooms (including a games room, sun
room, sitting room and kitchen/dining), and a standalone office. The overall pattern of
accommodation does not correspond to the normal functioning or spatial organisation of a
single private dwelling and raises concerns regarding the intended use of the development.
Furthermore, while a comprehensive Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment has been
submitted, this document addresses conservation methodology only and does not justify the
proposed residential layout or explain how the development is to function as a single dwelling
house.
Accordingly, in the interest of clarity and to allow for a fully informed decision, please submit a
detailed Planning Statement which:
(a) Explains the design logic behind the proposed internal arrangement.
(b) Demonstrates how the dwelling is intended to function as a single residential
unit.
(c) Clarifies why multiple detached rooms and building blocks are required for
domestic living.
(d) Provides justification for the standalone office and games room within a
residential scheme.
(e) Confirms whether any part of the development is intended, now or in the
future, for short‑term letting, tourist accommodation or any non‑domestic
residential use.
2.
The Planning Authority notes that the current proposal is directly dependent on key
infrastructural and site‑development works (concerning access, landscaping and wastewater
treatment) authorised previously under planning permission file number 23/27 – see
conditions 2, 3 and 4.
Accordingly, in the interest of clarity and to allow for a fully informed decision, please submit
concise documentary evidence confirming that conditions 2, 3 and 4 of planning file number
23/27 have been complied with, i.e. the details shall confirm that the enabling works have
been completed/implemented.
