Decisions 43
The council refused 8, including F25A/1100E at Hamlet Wood (under construction), Hamlet Lane, Balbriggan, Co. Dublin. 7 applications were declared invalid — usually a site notice or newspaper notice problem under articles 17–19 of the 2001 Regulations. Median receipt-to-decision: 52 days (s.34(8) of the 2000 Act sets eight weeks before any further-information stop).
