14.4 Permissible and Non-Permissible Uses

A permissible use is one which is generally acceptable in principle in the relevant zone, but which is subject to normal planning consideration, including policies and objectives outlined in the plan.

An open for consideration use is one which may be permitted where the planning authority is satisfied that the proposed development would be compatible with the overall policies and objectives for the zone, would not have undesirable effects on the permitted uses, and would otherwise be consistent with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

Uses not listed under the ‘permissible’ or ‘open for consideration’ categories will be deemed not to be permissible uses in principle in zones Z1, Z2, Z8, Z9, Z11 and Z15.

Other uses will be dealt with in accordance with the overall policies and objectives in this plan.
