The manager of Dublin Airport claimed in court that noise mitigation measures put forward by the local council were unlawfully prescribed and could cost €1.8 billion.
DAA claims the county development plan went on to include an objective to take measures to expand noise insulation to ensure noise levels reduce to below 40dB at night.
The airport is already subject to a noise action plan, published by the council, for 2019 to 2023, she said. The Office of the Planning Regulator wrote to the Minister of State for Local Government and Planning in March recommending deletion of the noise insulation amendment in the plan, she said. The second relevant amendment changed the zoning of a 6.7-hectare site from “Dublin Airport” to “community infrastructure” at the Aer Lingus Social and Athletic Association, she said.
