Planning permission Waterford

    Has anyone here had experience appealing a planning refusal to An Bord Pleanála? My application was denied due to the distance between my home and the site—about 2 kilometers over the limit in Co. Waterford. We chose this site as no others are available nearby. I'm considering appealing the decision but unsure if it's worth the effort. I'm not a homeowner, and the planning report recognised my local need but stated the site is outside my area. Has anyone found ABP reasonable in these cases?

    Is it not the fact that its not within your local need area as opposed to 2 km, could be 20km

    By reasonable you mean override the rules?

    What would the central tenet of your appeal be?

    “I can’t pay my staff or mortgage with instagram likes”.

    The local needs rule is generally defined as being within a 10k radius, but my situation is different as the distance from my home to the site is 12k. I'm not sure if we will appeal, as there are no other sites for sale within the 10k radius. I do have a legitimate local housing need, and it's not my fault that no suitable sites are available closer to my home. (Mountains take up about 4k of the radius also )
