Ali Hewson wins battle to halt luxury Dublin housing scheme as developer did not seek further planning permission
Briefly

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council denied Covelo Developments Ltd planning permission to build four large two-storey houses in Killiney, Dublin. The refusal followed objections from local residents, including the wives of U2 members. However, the council's refusal focused on the inadequate density of the proposal, stating that four units for a 1.13-acre site constituted underdevelopment. The decision allows for the potential submission of revised plans with more residential units, emphasizing adherence to the Compact Settlement Guidelines in the local development plan.
The proposed density of four units for the 1.13-acre site is considered an unsustainable use of land, conflicting with local development guidelines.
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council's refusal for the Covelo Developments project highlights issues surrounding inadequate housing density and planning guidelines.
