The High Court has overturned a fresh planning permission for a controversial development of 657 dwellings on lands near St Anne’s Park in Raheny. The proposed development has so far clocked up four decisions by An Bord Pleanála and ten sets of legal proceedings “and counting”, Mr Justice Richard Humphreys noted. In 2018, the board granted its first permission, for 536 dwellings on the site, but that was overturned by the High Court and remitted for reconsideration. On reconsideration, the board refused permission but the High Court upheld Crekav’s challenge over that refusal and again remitted the matter. The matter was again remitted to the board which granted permission in August 2020.
