Reasons & Considerations of An
Bord Pleanala to refuse the Permission Granted by Cork County Council to
the re-
Development of the
Wheel Inn Holiday Centre
REFUSE permission for the above
proposed development based on the reasons and considerations set out
below |
| "The site is located in a scenic, unserviced rural area, remote
from the built-up area of Castletownbere. The proposed development
would, by reason of its nature and large scale, contravene the policy
objectives of the current Development Plan for the area in relation to
tourism development (which policy objectives are considered reasonable),
and the policies contained in the Draft Sustainable Rural Housing
Guidelines and the National Spatial Strategy which seek to direct
tourist facilities/accommodation and residential development
into/adjacent to existing settlements, where they can best support the
provision of services and the general economic vitality of the
settlement. The proposed development would militate against the
existing rural environment and the proper development of nearby towns
and villages and would, therefore, contravene the development objectives
as set out in the Development Plan and be contrary to the proper
planning and sustainable development of the area". |
