Recycling firm challenges decision over increased intake
Summary
Glassco Recycling Limited, a glass recycling firm based in Naas, has lodged a High Court challenge against a decision by An Bord Pleanala that its proposal to increase its annual intake of glass and aluminium cans is not exempt from planning permission. The board had ruled in May that the proposed increase constituted a material change of use due to intensification, and that no planning law exemption applied. Glassco argues the decision is flawed, that the board erred in law, and that the increase does not amount to development. It also claims the board failed to provide reasons, did not consider relevant factors, and made an unreasonable decision without an Environmental Impact Assessment. The company seeks orders to quash the decision and a declaration that its existing recycling permission precludes the activity from being a material change of use. Mr Justice Anthony Barr granted the company permission to proceed, and the case will return to court next month.
