What’s proposed

1. Removal of existing scrub and failed plantation and the sequential raising of ground levels across the proposed development site by an average of 1.25m using imported soil and stone comprising both waste and (non-waste) byproduct; 2. Development and operation of a construction and demolition (C&D) waste recovery facility at a new (unpaved) hard-standing area to the north-west of the site. The recovery facility provides for the processing / recycling of inert C&D waste (principally solid / reinforced concrete, bricks, ceramics and solid bituminous waste mixtures) using mobile crushing and screening equipment to produce recycled (secondary) aggregate and the use of surrounding hard-standing areas for the external handling and storage of both unprocessed C&D wastes and recycled aggregates. 3. The construction of a portal frame building with roof-mounted solar panels (3,058sqm), (which will accommodate a workshop, offices and staff welfare facilities) with external provision of staff and visitor car-parking and bicycle parking on a concrete paved area to the south-west of the site; 4. Upgrading of the existing site entrance from the R445 Regional Road and internal access road into the site to provide a secure access point and provision of a weighbridge / site office, and wheelwash to facilitate the proposed development; 5. The provision of surface water management infrastructure for the office and concrete paved area to the south-west of the site, including silt traps and hydrocarbon interceptor (Full flow treatment system) attenuation pond for storm runoff, flow control device from Attenuation Pond and and all associated drainage works. 6. Provision of a foul wastewater treatment system at the site to treat all wastewater(s); 7. Landscaping including boundary treatment and fencing and internal hard and soft landscaping at the hardstand areas and proposed building. 8. All ancillary site development works to facilitate the proposed development, including water services, utilities, lighting and other associated infrastructure works and services. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) will also be submitted to the planning authority with the planning application

How to object to a planning application in Ireland — five weeks, €20, and 348 open windows today348 Dublin-area applications are inside their five-week observation window as this page was built. Anyone can make a submission for €20. Since the 2024 Act it is also the ticket to an appeal and, for most people, to judicial review.
Site notice planning rules — 22% of Dublin applications invalid, and the notice is the top cause2,539 of the 11,409 applications received by Dublin councils in the year to September 2026 were declared invalid; in South Dublin nearly half were for the site notice. What it must say, where it goes, when it turns yellow.
How long does planning permission take in Ireland? A 53-day median, and the tailThe median Dublin application took 53 days from receipt to decision in the year to September 2026; one in ten took over 161 days. The eight-week clock, what stops it, and what "final grant" means.
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.
