Dublin Airport’s application to raise the passenger cap to 36 million per annum has been ruled as invalid by Fingal County Council.
Airport operator daa submitted a proposal to increase the passenger capacity of the airport from 32 million to 36 million per annum on December 20, 2024. Today, Fingal County Council rejected the application saying it was invalid.
In a statement the council explained: “The application (F24A/1178E) is invalid because it fails to comply with Article 18(1)(d), Article 19(1)(a), and Article 22 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended). It is also invalid because the proposed description of the development in the public notices is non-compliant with the relevant regulations and is inadequate and misleading.
“It is a matter of great concern to the Planning Authority that such a significant planning application is invalid. Pre-planning is available to assist applicants but did not take place for this application.”
