Former Irish Glass Bottle & Fabrizia Sites, Poolbeg West Dublin 4

Pembroke Beach DAC intends to apply for a 10-year planning permission for development of a public park (identified as the ‘Village Green’) on a site of 15.06 hectares, including lands known as the former Irish Glass Bottle & Fabrizia Sites, Poolbeg West, Dublin 4. The proposed development is focused primarily on a net site area of c. 0.9 hectares (the Village Green and associated infrastructure) in the Poolbeg West Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) Planning Scheme, April 2019 (as amended). The proposed development includes the provision of open park areas, gathering areas, terraced landscaping, a children’s play area and associated equipment, paths, fitness equipment, a basketball half-court, a parkour court, and local streets, including the continuation of the ‘Coastal Link’, which will connect the permitted ‘Phase 1’ and ‘Block P’ developments (DCC Reg. Ref. PWSDZ3207/21 (as amended) and PWSDZ3062/24) with the proposed ‘Quadrant A4’ development (DCC Reg. Ref. WEBPWSDZ2539/26). The proposed development amends DCC Reg. Ref. PWSDZ3270/19 (as amended) and PWSDZ3062/24 in those areas where the net site area (identified by a non-statutory green boundary line on the site location and layout plan) overlaps with the boundaries of the earlier permitted developments. This includes amendments to the interfaces between the proposed scheme and adjacent developments on the wider subject site. The proposed development also includes hard and soft landscaping, pedestrian and cycle infrastructure, boundary treatments, tree planting, benches, fencing, interim site hoarding, public lighting, SuDS, site-wide services, and all ancillary works and services necessary to facilitate construction and operation of the development, above and below ground. This application will be accompanied by a Natura Impact Statement (NIS)

How to submit an observation

Read the file on the council register.No register URL is recorded for this reference; search the Dublin City Council planning register for WEBPWSDZ3609/26.
Write your observation.Quote WEBPWSDZ3609/26 at the top, give your name and the address the authority should reply to, and confine it to planning matters — zoning objective, height, overlooking, traffic, drainage, heritage. What you say here is what you can later appeal on.
Pay the €20 fee.Every submission needs it; without it the observation is invalid and is returned. Dublin City Council takes it online with the submission or at the counter.
Submit before 27 Nov 2026.Online through the register above, or in writing to the Planning Department, Dublin City Council. The test is the date the authority receives it, not the date you post it.
Keep the acknowledgement.The council's receipt is your proof of a valid observation — see below.

Statutory basis. Section 34(1) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) requires a planning authority to consider any submission or observation made to it in accordance with the Regulations. Article 29 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended) sets the window: a submission or observation must be received by the authority within five weeks beginning on the date of receipt of the application, and must be accompanied by the prescribed fee of €20. A submission received after the window, or without the fee, is invalid and the authority must return it.

After you submit: keep the acknowledgement. Under the 2024 Act it secures your right to appeal — only the applicant and a person who made a valid observation may bring the council's decision to An Coimisiún Pleanála, within four weeks of the decision. Making a valid observation is also what buys a right of appeal: under s.37(1) of the 2000 Act, only the applicant and a person who made a valid submission or observation to the planning authority may appeal the decision to An Coimisiún Pleanála (within four weeks of the decision). Missing the five-week window closes both doors.
