Summary

A company of developer John O'Flynn, O'Flynn Capital Partners, has taken a legal challenge to An Bord Pleanala after the board refused planning permission for a Cabinteely development that would include 34 houses and an access road. The company seeks to have the board's decision of 17 July quashed. The development, which had earlier received permission from Dun Laoghaire‑Rathdown County Council, was appealed by local residents and others. O'Flynn Capital Partners argues that part of the proposed road lies within the Cherrywood Planning Scheme, a zone that the board cannot consider, and that the board's decision about the road outside that zone was made on irrelevant matters and was unreasonable. The company claims it has spent €15 million on land and planning fees and estimates construction costs at €50 million, with the project expected to create 240 jobs.
