Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed change of use materially contravenes the 'HT' High Technology zoning objective and Objective ED95 of the Fingal Development Plan 2017-2023, as the use is deemed more suitable for areas closer to population centers and services.

- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for future development in a strategically important area near an international airport, undermining the proper planning and sustainable development of the region.
