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. Extension of Duration of Permission granted under An Bord Pleanála Reference PL53.240794 (Council Ref: 12/52007)

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.
How long does planning permission last? Five years, and a 79% rate on extensions of durationA permission lasts five years from the grant. Dublin councils granted 79% of the 343 extension-of-duration applications lodged in the two years to September 2026. What "commenced" means and how to apply in time.
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.
Certificate of compliance with planning permission — what the architect's opinion covers and what it does notRetention applications were 17% of everything lodged in the GDA over 12 months, and a fifth of those decided were refused. What a certificate or opinion on compliance with planning permission says, who signs it, the Law Society and RIAI forms, and the gaps a buyer should close from the register.
