Planning applications 12 in 5 years within 500 m
Recent decisions and applications
- Cooldrinagh Lane, Leixlip, Co.Dublin Grant permissionPermission for the development of 6 Nr dwelling houses at Cooldrinagh Lane, Leixlip, Co. Dublin, in the townland of Cooldrinagh. The Site is located to the south of Cooldrinagh Lane (house), and to the west of Cooldrinagh Lane. The proposed development will consist of the construction of 6 No. 2 storey detached 4-bedroom houses. The proposed development will be served by a previously approved vehicular access (Ref SD22A/0469) off Cooldrinagh Lane along with all associated Car Parking, landscaping and boundary treatment works, the provision of private open space areas comprising hard and soft landscaping, site services (foul drainage with associated pumping station, surface water drainage and water supply) and all associated site works.
- Dublin Weston Airport, Lucan, Co. Dublin Cannot determineAccording to Weston Airport Aerodrome they propose using some of the existing hangers for the purpose of servicing and operating SAR (Search and rescure) Helicopters from 1st of July 2025 This raises a number of questions: A. There is already a Planning Permission granted by SDCC Reference SD23A/0324 in relation to the provision of this service from a different location within the Aerodrome. B. As you should be aware this decision was appealed by myself and others to An Bord Pleanala and a decision is still awaited on this appeal C. Do the plans to operate a similar service from 1st July 2025 from the exiting hangers not require planning permission? D. Operating a SAR facility means there will be night flying. I am not aware of any decision to permit such flights at this location E. Surely there must be conditions attached to this type of operation -flight paths etc. The Airport is in close proximity to three major towns; Celbridge, Leixlip and Lucan. And Maynooth is no far away either. F. It interesting to note the intention of using the existing facilities to fun the SAR operations from the existing buildings when one of the main arguments put forward in their planning application (SD23A/0324) was that it was not possible to do that.
