Core Refusal Reason
The proposal is non-compliant with the 'DA' (Dublin Airport) land use zoning and prejudices the strategic growth and infrastructure of the airport, including a potential third terminal and western access route.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development is not permitted under the 'DA' zoning as it does not relate to air transport infrastructure or airport logistics, representing a material contravention of the Fingal Development Plan.
- The proposal is considered piecemeal and premature, potentially obstructing the delivery of a third terminal (T3) and a strategic western access route from the N2 corridor.
- The application failed to provide adequate information regarding Appropriate Assessment (AA), Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening, and sustainable wastewater infrastructure.
