Developer challenges planning permission refusal for Dublin apartments
Summary
LDB Developments Limited has taken High Court action to overturn An Bord Pleanala's refusal to grant planning permission for 32 apartments at Braemor Road, Churchtown, Dublin 14. The developer sought a three‑ to six‑storey residential development, but the board upheld a prior decision by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and denied the application. The board's refusal was based on the project being premature and on alleged deficiencies in the developer's proposals to manage surface water, as well as a claim that the development would be prejudicial to public health and contrary to proper planning. LDB, represented by John Kenny BL, argues that the board's conclusion was flawed, that the proposal was not premature, and that adequate surface‑water management plans had been submitted. The developer also contends that the board failed to explain why it rejected the inspector's recommendation that permission should be granted.
