    Seems that one part of it (the triangle on the right side) is going to be a showroom & garage for commercial vehicles, you can see the planning documents and the granted permission on the Fingal Co. Co. planning website here - Link.

    The left side of the site is still in planning for a filling station & big mezzanine foodcourt/cafe, but additional detail is being requested and permission hasn't been given yet. Link.

    Exciting times! Should be a good commercial use for a bit of land that at the moment looks pretty run down and unappealing.

    Yeah possibly, I think it'd probably be a positive. Be handy to swing in there for petrol on the way into work in the morning. There's no company mentioned in the plans but based on what companies are already operating garages close by, as well as the design of the petrol pump canopy and the mezzanine cafe, I would guess it is going to be an Apple Green station.

    Looks like it... Apple Green run the service stops out by Lusk so it wouldn't surprise me if it was them.

    That set up out in Lusk is something else, think there's another one on the M1.

    More jobs and another petrol station to provide competition to the other stations(hopefully).

    Nice to see that the developers haven't forgotten the tricks of their trade by lodging the original planning application with Fingal Co Co on the 24/12/12.

    With the weekly email lists this is not as effective as it used to be, except that Christmas reduces the free time to write an observation.

    Isn't an extra week added for submissions around Christmas? There is for an bord pleanala applications to the best of my knowledge. I'd imagine councils are probably the same.

    Correct, the Christmas period doesn't count as part of the 5 week period for lodging a submission from the date the application was lodged or the 8 week period in which a planning decision is made. The local authorities indicate on their websites coming up to the Christmas holidays the number of days over the period that are not included as part of the statutory timeframes.

    However, I do remember the days of late nights & mad hours trying to get massive planning applications ready for lodging 10 minutes before the LA's closed on the 23rd Dec when the holidays did count..... thems the days:D

    I believe he's being a bit xenophobic.
    Jobs in D15 are a level playing field when it comes to nationality.

    Stupidly optimistic. It'd make life a whole lot easier but apparently they did it years ago to ease traffic congestion around there!

    Thank You!!! I've always said this. Makes no sense whatsoever. The whole point of the N3/M3 is to by-pass towns and villages, yet the only option for commuters coming from Damastown to Littlepace is back through Clonee Village. The infrastructure is clearly there for two-way traffic. Blood boiling stuff.

    I've actually raised a thread about this before.
