The Manna hub had been carrying out deliveries for a number of independent food providers in the Dublin 15 area. Photograph: Nick BradshawDrone delivery company Manna has been refused permission to retain a drone delivery hub in west Dublin. The decision to apply for retention planning permission was out of an “abundance of caution”, the original application to the council said. The decision does not impact the company’s existing drone hub near the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, for which the company was already granted permission. It has also applied for planning permission for a delivery hub in Tallaght, and another in Dundrum, both of which are subject to requests for further information by planning authorities.
