O'Flynn action over Dublin residential project set for May hearing
Summary
In February 2016, a dispute between property developer Michael O'Flynn's company, O'Flynn Capital Partners (OFCP), and Dun Laoghaire‑Rathdown Council over a €75 million residential development at Beech Park, Cabinteely/Loughlinstown, was set for a Commercial Court hearing on 3 May. OFCP sought judicial review of the council's 31 July refusal to grant planning permission for 164 units. The council's refusal cited a lack of a high‑quality site‑specific design, potential harm to local amenities, and inconsistency with the Cherrywood Planning Scheme. O'Flynn argued that the refusal would hinder the delivery of the development, which would include demolishing 11 dwellings, building a 158‑metre section of Druid's Glen Road, and creating about 100 construction jobs. He noted financial losses from the halted project and the need to secure properties slated for demolition. The hearing was expected to last three to four days.
