ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note: No inference is given in requesting this Further Information that planning permission will
ultimately be forthcoming.
The submission should take a coherent account of issues that overlap/interlink.
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.
The proposed development is not located within or adjacent to a settlement. Section 15.12.2
(Industrial and Commercial Developments Outside Settlements) of the County Development
Plan 2025-2031 accepts that there may be circumstances where it is not possib le or
appropriate to locate a commercial or industrial development within a settlement. In these
circumstances, industrial and commercial developments may be considered acceptable where
it can be justified to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority.
Notwithstanding the submitted information, please submit a comprehensive, itemised
justification report demonstrating how the proposed development complies with the full
requirements of Section 15.12.2 (a–i) of the County Development Plan 2025-2031. This report
shall principally demonstrate that no suitable alternative site exists within the boundaries of
nearby settlements, and the proposed development is appropriate at this location.
The report shall be clear, structured, and supported by any necessary drawings, surveys or
technical assessments required to allow the Planning Authority to determine whether the
development meets the tests set out under Section 15.12.2 (a–i).
2.
As with the assessment of your previous applications (planning file numbers 23/107 and
24/60233), flood maps indicate that the eastern edge of the site may be at risk to fluvial
flooding. Accordingly, please submit an assessment of the flood risk, which cl early
demonstrates that your development would not be at risk of flooding nor would it exacerbate
flooding elsewhere. Should any residual risks to the development and/or area be identified,
please demonstrate how same would be acceptably managed.
3.
The information submitted is insufficient with regards traffic safety and access standards.
Consequently, please submit the following:
(a) A 1:500 site layout plan that accords with Section 15.27 of the County
Development Plan 2025-2031, clearly illustrating visibility splays of 70m along
the adjoining local road measured to the nearside road edge in each direction,
provided from a point in the centre of the roadside entrance 2.4m from the
road edge at a height of between 1.05m and 2m ab ove ground level to an
object height of 0.26m and 2m above ground level in both directions.
(b) If applicable, legal agreements with adjoining landowners giving their consent
to allow removal/trimming of their hedgerows, etc, to provide the required
70m sight distances, where said sight distances are not achievable within the
site area and where hedgerows or other such impediments beyond the site do
not belong to the applicant.
The legal agreements shall be accompanied by an appropriate ordnance
survey map that shall also be signed and witnessed by a solicitor.
4.
No justification/rationale has been offered regarding the (need for the) clearance works to the
rear of the site. Accordingly, in the interest of clarity and to allow for a fully informed decision,
please submit details justifying the need for said works.
5.
The information submitted is insufficient with regards environmental protection.
Accordingly, the following is required:
(a) Submit a revised site drainage plan (1:500) demonstrating the following:
(i) Existing and proposed surface water drainage systems (outlined in blue),
including stormwater runoff collected via gullies.
(ii) Existing and proposed foul water drainage systems (outlined in red).
(iii) All associated discharge points and outfalls.
(iv) Demonstrate proposed location for an adequately sized Class 1
Interceptor(s) and location of outfall(s).
(v) Submit design specification details for petrol Interceptor to demonstrate
adequate capacity for the entire yard area.
(vi) Demonstrate proposed location for the proposed attenuation tank and the
associated hydrobrake.
(vii) Indicate location of a final manhole for inspection proposes prior to
outfall to any surface water and foul drainage system.
