REASONS AND CONSIDERATIONS

1. Notwithstanding that the proposed development is zoned for residentialdevelopment, it is situated in a peripheral location served by a poor road

system, lacking public footpaths or lighting, and development on this scale

would not represent a logical sequential addition to the overall development of

this attractive village and would, therefore, be contrary to the Sustainable

Residential Development in Urban Areas Guidelines for Planning Authorities

issued by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Governmentin May, 2009. The proposed development would represent a haphazard,

piecemeal and uncoordinated development that would be contrary to the

proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

2. It is considered that the sightlines at the junction of the proposed access roadand public road are severely restricted and the traffic movements generated by

this proposed development would result in the creation of traffic hazard to

road users. The proposed development would, therefore, be contrary to the

proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
