Procedural Posture

Appeal Against Refusal of a Development Application / Ex Tempore Judgment

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the proposed local market should be approved having regard to the appropriate number of stalls and associated customer parking.' 'Whether the proposed market is compatible with the continuing operation of the existing consent for landscape supplies and a car sales yard.' 'Whether conditions should address storage and screening of market materials on non-market days.']

Ratio Decidendi

On the evidence, including the traffic expert's surveys and the RTA parking guidelines, the revised proposal for a 24-stall market with associated parking reasonably complied with the desirable customer parking guidance and was consistent with the observed parking demand. The proposed market should not be further reduced because of parking uncertainties arising from the adjoining market, but the conditions of consent needed to rationalise the relationship between the proposed market and the existing consent for landscape supplies and the car sales yard, including possible restrictions on concurrent operation and screening of stored materials.

Court Disposition

The Court found that the revised application for a 24-stall market and associated parking merits conditional consent, subject to further submissions on appropriate conditions.
