The High Court dismissed local teacher Christian Morris’s challenge to An Bord Pleanála’s approval of a large housing development in Howth, ruling that his case could not proceed because he had missed the deadline to challenge the planning decision.

The court also found Morris had no legal interest giving him standing to seek an injunction requiring Glenkerrin Homes and its receivers to clean up parts of the site and demolish certain properties. The judgment concluded that both his judicial review and injunction application must fail.
