Residents living under flight path claim victory but ABP decision raises more questions
A decision in a planning appeal against the expansion of night time flight activity at Dublin Airport has been delayed after An Bord Pleanála invited further submissions and observations.
Yet, in what a group representing local residents are claiming as a victory, An Bord Pleanála also provisionally found that the flights from the north runway, which became operational in 2002, should only be in use for take-off and landing up midnight and for departures between 6am and 8am. DAA had previously received permission from Fingal County Council for all flights, from 11pm to midnight and from 6am to 7am.
ABP’s draft decision grants DAA permission to introduce the new system subject to a number of conditions, the implications of which are still being assessed by stakeholders. The period for submissions is open until December 27th, pushing out the final decision until some time next year.
