Pursuant to Section 3.02 (b) of The Development Plan 1997, the applicant failed to demonstrate that the gas station in its present location would service the needs of the community. 2. Pursuant to Regulation 13(1)(b) of the Development and Planning Regulations (2018 Revision), the applicant failed to demonstrate that the gas station in its present location would cater principally for the needs of persons resident in, or in the vicinity of, the zone. The Central Planning Authority decision was appealed. On the 6th December 2019 the Planning Appeal Tribunal found CPA: “did not misdirect itself, did not err in law and did not act contrary to the rules of natural justice” The Tribunal further found: 5 1) Having regard to s.13(1)(b) of the Regulations the Appellant failed to meet the relevant tests set out for approval of a project in a Neighbourhood Commercial zone whereby the applicant failed to demonstrate that a gas station in the location of this project would serve the needs of the community. 2) CPA provided adequate reasons setting out how the decision of refusal was arrived at. 3) The National Energy Policy does not override development criteria provided in the Development and Planning Law. 4) The CPA did not act unreasonably in its determination of the matter in accordance with Wednesbury principles of reasonableness.
