Councillors on Monday night voted to block future housing schemes on privately-owned lands beside St Anne’s Park in Raheny, by zoning the plot for open space.
In recent months Marlet applied to Dublin City Council under the new large-scale residential development system for 580 apartments and a 100-bed nursing home on the site.
While the company can appeal the council’s decision to An Bord Pleanala, from next month it will not be in a position to submit new applications for residential schemes on the site, under the new city development plan. However, councillors voted to zone Mr Crean’s land as Z9 open space in the plan which comes into force in mid-December.
The decision leaves Mr Crean with the option of submitting a fresh application to the council within weeks, or await the results of any appeal to the board on its recently rejected plans.
