Core Planning Reasoning
The development is considered to be in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area as it complies with the Fingal County Development Plan 2017-2023 and the Dublin Airport Local Area Plan 2020, specifically by facilitating improved traffic management and encouraging a modal shift towards public transport.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed tolling infrastructure and road reconfigurations will facilitate a necessary modal shift from private vehicle drop-offs to public transport, in line with climate and transport policy.

- Traffic modeling indicates that the redistribution of traffic and the introduction of barriers will not lead to significant congestion in the local transport network or adversely affect traffic safety.
