Challenge to permission for hundreds of South Dublin apartments
Summary
A High Court challenge has been initiated against An Bord Pleanala's decision to grant planning permission for 227 apartments in Goatstown, South Dublin. The applicant, Mr Ciaran Mulloy from Woodlands Park, Blackrock, Co Dublin, alleges that the decision breaches domestic and European Union laws, including the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan, urban development requirements, open space guidelines, and building height regulations. He further claims that the board failed to assess public transport capacity and that the decision contravenes proper zoning and a protective corridor for the proposed Dublin Eastern by-pass. Additionally, it is alleged that the board's decision breaches the developer's obligations under the EU directive on Environmental Impact Assessments. Mr Mulloy seeks various reliefs, including an order quashing the board's decision. The action is against An Bord Pleanala, Ireland, the Attorney General, and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Co Council, with Knockrabo Investments Ltd DAC as a notice party. The application for permission to bring the proceedings was heard by Mr Justice David Holland, who granted Mr Mulloy leave to proceed and adjourned the matter to a date in May.
