for development. The development will consist of the importation, screening and recovery of inert waste, namely soil and stones, in a phased manner with resultant increase in finished land height of approximately 1.4m on 8.05 hectares, at a maximum rate of 24,000 tonnes per annum with cumulative tonnage of 192,000 tonnes, over a ten year period. The screening process involves separation of all vegetation including root systems (rhizomes) which will be re-exported from site to a licenced disposal facility. Access and screening of material will be carried out using an existing permitted vehicular entrance, concrete yard and hard-standing area (previously authorised under 11/272); associated works includes the provision of a weighbridge, wheel wash, office and welfare facilities, temporary berms and screening, and associated civil works including use of modular concrete walling on concrete pad as well as undergrounding and/or re-location of electricity transmission lines within the site; all on a total site area of 12.01 hectares.

Further information requests on a planning application — 21% of Dublin files, six months to reply21% of applications received by Dublin councils in the year to September 2026 drew a further information request. What the council is asking, the six-month deadline, what "significant" FI triggers, and what it does to neighbours' rights.
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.
Judicial review of a planning decision in Ireland — eight weeks, substantial grounds, and who may bring oneThe Commission decided 510 appeals from the seven Dublin-area councils in the 12 months to September 2026, and each opened an eight-week judicial review window. What s.50 allows, what it costs, what the court can and cannot do, and how the 2024 Act changes standing.
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.
