AN BORD PLEANÁLA has refused planning permission for a new ‘car dependent’ 127-residential unit scheme near Balbriggan after a developer failed to put in adequate pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.
As a result, the board ruled the scheme “would therefore promote unsustainable transport modes” and be contrary to the provisions of the Fingal County Development Plan. The appeals board refused planning permission for the scheme – made up of 65 houses and 62 duplex units – after Fingal County Council recommended that planning permission be refused on five separate grounds
In a separate SHD ruling, the board has granted planning permission to the Land Development Agency for a 345 unit scheme for Hacketstown, Skerries in north Dublin.
