Bulrush Horticulture Ltd and Westland Horticulture Ltd sought permission to appeal at the High Court on 30 May 2018 over peat harvesting development rules.

The applications challenged an earlier ruling that their peat extraction activities were no longer exempt from planning permission requirements.

An Bord Pleanála opposed the applications, while the judge reserved his decision after hearing submissions.
