Weston Aerodrome, Lucan, Co. Dublin.

What’s proposed

Revision, alteration and retention to approved office/club house, hangar and car park layout - Planning References S01A/0822 and PL.06S.131149. Office / club house / control tower. To give full view of runway and taxi ways, the retention consists of relocated Control Tower from its centre position on the roof of office / club house to front elevation with greatly reduced size of the display and visual part of the control tower (improving elevational aspect) and slight increase in height by 0.775m and the consequential relocation and the retention of navigational aid equipment from Control Tower to 2 number storage areas internally under the Control Tower achieved by lowering the ceiling height of the first floor by 1.945m. Also the consequential relocation and retention of lift shaft internally, thereby avoiding direct entry to Control Tower. The height of the lift shaft is increased by 1.5m. The retention also incorporates necessary security arrangements by changing the use of the ground floor by the provision of office accommodation and reception at ground floor and slight increase in bar area and reduction in office space at first floor. The application also includes the proposed use of the unrooofed areas behind the perimeter parapet walling for air handling units and ventilation equipment. Hanger: The retention of folding doors at rear of hanger

Retention planning permission in Ireland — refused 27% of the time, against 7% for extensionsOne in six Dublin applications is for retention, and 27% of retention decisions in the two years to September 2026 were refusals. When you need it, the treble fee, the seven-year rule and the sale-time problem.
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.
