An application for planning permission was lodged with Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council in September 2018. The decision from Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council was to refuse planning permission. My Department's officials are currently reviewing this decision in consultation with planning advisors and technical team and assessing all options including the consideration of an appeal to An Bord Pleanála.
