Controversial application for Raheny houses is sent back to planning board
Summary
In a High Court decision on 31 July 2018, Mr Justice David Barniville remitted a controversial planning application for 500 housing units in Raheny back to An Bord Pleanála for fresh consideration. The application, made by developer Marlet's subsidiary Crekav Trading, sought to build 104 houses and 432 apartments on land that had been used as six playing pitches by St Paul's College. The board had previously granted approval under a fast‑track process that bypassed the local authority, but the judge quashed that decision, citing an error in the board's approval. He ordered the matter to be remitted to the board, but only to the extent necessary to undo the invalid step, and left open the possibility for the applicants to raise other grounds in future proceedings.
