A community group has launched a High Court challenge aimed at overturning a decision of An Bord Pleanála to grant planning permission for a development at a South County Dublin fishing harbour. The action has been brought by Bullock Harbour Preservation Association over a decision by the planning authority to give the go-ahead for the development at Bullock Harbour, in Dalkey, Co Dublin. The proposed development will consist of two apartments, three detached houses, a marine leisure centre, a cafe, changing rooms and a public square. The second refusal was appealed to An Bord Pleanala in 2018, which in June granted permission for the proposed development. In addition, the board did not take into account evidence submitted by the group in regards to potential flooding at the site, counsel said.
