High Court quashes permission for 698-bed student accommodation near UCD via IrishTimesBiz
Wendy Jennings and Adrian O’Connor, of the Grove, Goatstown, whose back garden backs onto part of the site, said they were not opposed to a development but believed it was a “significant” over-development of the site.Among the claims grounding their case that the board erred in granting permission was that the plan contravened requirements for open spaces, building heights, and tree protection/landscaping. They also claimed it breached EU law on the protection of habitats.
He said Colbeam had objected to certain issues not raised by the residents before the board, including whether the development was of national and strategic importance and the need for environmental assessment screening. As he had not found against the decision on any of these grounds, the judge said his views were not required on this difficult area of law.However, on the grounds that he had rejected the permission, he said he had made observations that the board should consider if the matter is remitted to it.
He adjourned to later this month the question of whether it should be sent back to the board for reconsideration or simply quashed.
