What’s proposed

Development of two waste facilities; a metal recycling facility and a recovered waste storage facility. The metal recycling facility will have a capacity of 45,000 tonnes per annum for the processing of scrap metal. All waste activities including acceptance, processing and storage [containers] will occur within an existing building [Hall A]. The finishes product will be transported either in bulk load or in containers depending on the end market. The baled recovered waste storage facility will accept a maximum of 45,000 tonnes per annum of recyclable materials recovered from household and commercial waste. This waste will be stored within an existing building onsite [Hall C] prior to shipping. There will be no processing activities within Hall C. A dedicated area [4,190 sq.m.] will also be established on the quayside for material storage prior to loading on ships. Other ancillary works will include the provision of a demountable weighbridge, re-surfacing of an existing hardstand area [1,040 sq.m.]; installation of a hydro-carbon interceptor and surface water holding tank. The two facilities will require waste facility permits from Cork County Council. An Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared in respect of the proposed development

12/52007 is a planning application to Cork County Council for development of two waste facilities; a metal recycling facility and a recovered waste, received on 17 Apr 2012; permission was refused on 7 Jun 2012.

An Bord Pleanála appeal, now An Coimisiún Pleanála — four weeks, €220, and a 25% reversal rateThe Commission reversed the council in 25% of the 1,195 Dublin-area appeals decided in the two years to September 2026. Who can appeal, the four weeks, the €220 fee, why 240 appeals a year fail on procedure, and the odds by direction.
The most refused planning application types in Dublin — retention first, apartments second, extensions lastRetention applications were refused 27% of the time across the Greater Dublin councils in 12 months (140 of 510 decided), apartments 20%, new houses 15% and extensions 7%. The refusal share by development type, why the mix matters more than the council, and what the register says about where each type fails.
Appeals overturned by council — how often An Coimisiún Pleanála reverses each Dublin council, and in which directionThe Commission reversed the council on 301 of 1,195 Dublin appeals decided in 24 months, 25%. South Dublin was reversed most (30%), Dublin City least (23%), and 76 of Fingal's 85 reversals turned a refusal into a grant. How the appeal works, what a reversal rate means, and how to read your council's number before you appeal.
Planning permission for an extension in Ireland — the 45 m² exemption and a 94% grant rateDublin councils granted 94% of extension applications decided in the year to September 2026. Since 27 July 2026 a rear extension of up to 45 m² can be exempt. The conditions, when you still apply, the fee and the timeline.
