Councillor Jane Horgan-Jones and I have submitted an observation to Dublin City Council’s Planning Department to object to the planning application (ref. 3899/15) for the lands adjacent to St Anne’s. We believe that this planning application should be rejected for a number of reasons, which are outlined in our letter. You can view our submission here:
I continue to urge local residents who oppose this planning application to submit their own objections. Please note that the deadline to submit your observation is Tuesday 1 December. You can submit an observation to Dublin City Council by following the steps outlined here:
Object to or support a planning application
You are allowed to comments on all planning applications received by Dublin City Council – either in support of the application or objecting to it. Such comments are called ‘observations’ and anyone can make an observation.
It costs €20 to submit an observation.
